Delhi's firebrand Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced his resignation Friday to protest the blocking of an anti-corruption bill, fewer than 50 days after taking power in the Indian capital.


"My cabinet has decided that we are quitting. Here is my resignation letter," Kejriwal told supporters of his fledgling Aam Aadmi ("Common Man") Party in the capital, brandishing a white sheet of paper. "Straight after this, I am going to the Lieutenant Governor's office to hand in my resignation," he added, as his followers cheered.

The upstart Aam Aadmi party sent shockwaves through India's political establishment late last year when it scored a series of stunning successes during local elections in Delhi.

In his speech to supporters on Friday, the 45-year-old blamed Congress for his decision to resign, accusing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's party of reneging on an earlier promise to back the bill.

"Congress had promised us, in writing, that they would support the bill but when we tried to present it before the assembly today both they and the BJP came together to block it," Kejriwal said. "This is the first time in India's history that both the BJP and Congress have come together ... They have exposed themselves and shown their true face."
