5:20 pm: Former chief minister Sheila Dikshit, who ruled Delhi for 15 years, says: "The Jan Lokpal Bill was constitutionally untenable, and not in sync with the Lokpal Bill passed by Parliament. I think, the AAP government was more busy with protests, with an eye on Lok Sabha polls. Whether Delhi assembly polls be held with LS polls will depend on circumstances"
2:52 pm: BJP leader and Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Harsh Vardhan says, it's up to Lt Governor to decide. Already 6 months have been lost as development projects have come to a standstill in Delhi. Kejriwal could well have taken approval from Centre for his Jan Lokpal Bill, but he did not do. He was more interested in misleading the people of Delhi in the name of Jan Lokpal.
2:45 pm: Kiran Bedi says, AAP govt was never in governance mode, it was always in campaign mode. In the past, there had been excellent coordination between Delhi CM, Delhi Lt Governor and Delhi Police, but Kejriwal from Day 1 described Delhi Police as his enemy. I was an IPS officer. I know the insult a Delhi policeman feels. Moreover, nobody is asking Kejriwal the question that Jan lokpal was not wanted in Delhi. Delhi already has the Lokayukta Act, and he could very well have brought amendments to Lokayukta, not Lokpal. Lokpal is only at the Centre, Lokayukta is in states.
2:30 pm: Yogendra Yadav says, if the Centre approaches the Supreme Court to quash the FIR against Mukesh Ambani, it will be proved that the government belongs to a particular corporate house, which has Congress in one pocket, and the BJP in another pocket.
2:20 pm: Senior AAP leader Yogendra Yadav says, Congress and UPA have become irrelevant in the Lok Sabha elections. Congress' defeat is certain. BJP may provide a substitute, but AAP provides an alternative. Ultimately it will be a choice between substitute versus alternative. Modi could be the substitute and Kejriwal is the alternative.
2:07 pm: Manish Sisodia says, AAP government has ordered filing of FIRs in six important scams, including CWG, Delhi Jal Board and other scams. We hope the probe will be conducted impartially.
2:02 pm: AAP press conference. Sanjay Singh says, his party will expose Mukesh Ambani and his 40 brothers in the next LS elections. For last two days, both BJP and Congress members in Assembly have been claiming "we are 40" (BJP 32 and Congerss 8). Kejriwal will address public rallies in Rohtak, Haryana on Feb 23 and in Kanpur, UP on March 2.
2 pm: Press release from Raj Nivas: "The Hon'ble Chief Minister, Shri Arvind Kejriwal along with the Council of Ministers met Hon'ble LG at Raj Niwas on 14.02.2014, and submitted their resignation. Thereupon the LG has forwarded the resignation along with his report to the Hon'ble President of India today."
