NEW DELHI: Amidst high drama over the Jan Lokpal Bill, Delhi's Lt Governor Najeeb Jung on Friday wrote to the Speaker stating that the bill cannot be tabled because it hasn't been approved by the Centre.
Meanwhile Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal threatened to resign if the Jan Lokpal Bill is not tabled today. Kejriwal also retweeted his party member Manish Sisodia stand saying that there will be no compromise on Jan Lokpal Bill.
However, fissures within Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) were visible, with party leader Ashok Agarwal saying, "Delhi government should have presented the Jan Lokpal Bill to the Lt Governor first." "Delhi government must follow legal framework while introducing Jan Lokpal Bill," Agarwal said.

BJP hit out at AAP, accusing it of using the Jan Lokpal Bill as a political tool. MA Naqvi of BJP said, "They (AAP) are abetting the corrupt and the fraudsters. They will come to a dead end soon."
JD(U) MLA also said that the Jan Lokpal Bill in its current form is unconstitutional. "I was supporting AAP throughout, but I am not sure if I can support them today when the entire House is on the other side," Iqbal said.
On Thursday, Kejriwal said it may not be possible to hold a session of the assembly at a large stadium on Sunday as planned earlier.
He also accused Congress and BJP of joining hands in not allowing the assembly to transact business demanding resignation of Law Minister Somnath Bharti's alleged role in a raid episode in South Delhi.
"I don't think this had happened in the history of India in any legislative assembly where BJP and Congress came together. They have exposed themselves," said Kejriwal.
"The way they were charging at me, I thought they were coming to beat me up. They broke the mike in front of my seat and tore papers. They also broke speaker's two mikes. Similar things happened in the Parliament today. I was thinking is it democracy. This is anything but democracy," he said.
