People will teach lesson to BJP, Cong: Kejriwal

Sharply attacking the Congress and the BJP for being in collusion to defeat the Jan Lokpal Bill, Arvind Kejriwal, who resigned as the Delhi Chief Minister, today said that people will teach both the parties a lesson in future.
"They tell lie that we are not following Constitution. They want to do corruption. Both BJP and Congress have joined hands. We say eradicate corruption. They say it is unconstitutional.
"They break mikes and consider it as Constitutional. People will teach them a lesson," he told a large gathering of his supporters outside Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) headquarters here.
He said both the parties wanted him to work as per their wishes.

"I was disheartened with what happened in the Assembly yesterday. They wanted us to work as per their wishes. They thought we were new and would ask for their advice in every work we do. But We followed the Constitution and I am ready to sacrifice my life for the Constitution," said Kejriwal, who resigned after introduction of Jan Lokpal Bill was defeated in the Assembly today.
During his about half an hour speech, he accused both BJP and Congress of corruption.

"I remember, we were here when Delhi Assembly elections were announced. I remember addressing you from this window. We got 28 seats and we were not sure of making government. We had vowed that we will not take support of either BJP or the Congress.

"Congress forcefully supported us. We asked the people. They told us to take the support for as many days as possible and deliver the good work," he said.
Following which, we came to power on December 28. Our biggest promise was to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill, a strong anti corruption Bill. Congress had given in writing that they would support the Jan Lokpal Bill, he said.
"When today we tried to introduce the Jan Lokpal Bill in the Assembly. BJP and Congress came together. It has never happened before...
"They defeated the Jan Lokpal Bill. Why that happened, because three days ago, we had filed an FIR against Mukesh Ambani (RIL chairman). He is the man who runs this country's government," Kejriwal claimed.
