6:40 pm: Assembly passes Appropriation Bill. Assembly adjourned sine die

6:38  pm: Replying to the debate on Appropriation Bill, Kejriwal makes an impassioned speech, retierating that he was ready to resign not 100 times, but 1000 times, in order to fight corruption. For Jan Lokpal Bill, I am even ready to lay down my life.  Today's voting on Jan Lokpal Bill has clearly shown both BJP and Congress are hands in gloves in stalling this bill. A few days ago, our government filed FIR against Mukesh Ambani. Mukesh Ambani gives money to both BJP and Congress. That's why both these parties have joined hands to stall the Jan lokpal bill. I have taken the  oath on Constitution.  For Constitution I am ready to lay down my life, but I have not taken oath on Central government's rules. I am not going to obey the Central government's diktats. Kejriwal said, this is my last Assembly session here. "For lat 20 years, both the Congress and BJP were in cahoots looting the people of Delhi. The people of Delhi now know both these parties are in league, That's why when I brought the Janlokpal Bill their throne began to tremble", said Kejriwal.

We have not come here to save our govt, we have come to save the country. To remove corruption, I am ready to stake the CM's chair not even 100 times, but 1000 times. Even if I lay down my life, I will consider this my fortune. I think this is my last session here", said Kejriwal and ends his speech.

6:21 pm: An opposition member says, Mukhyamantriji, your heart is broken over a broken mike, but our hearts are broken after you broke the Constitution.
