New Delhi: After Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal decided to resign from the post of the Delhi chief minister over the stalling of the Jan Lokpal Bill, Congress leader Shakeel Ahmad on Sunday defended Kejriwal`s decision.

Ahmad tweeted that the AAP chief proved himself more ethical by resigning to fulfil his national ambitions and targeted BJP`s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi saying that he is still glued to his CM chair unlike Kejriwal.

Kejriwal on Friday resigned from the Delhi CM post after the AAP government failed to get the Jan Lokpal Bill introduced in Parliament. He had earlier said that he`s ready to quit CM seat a thousand times in the fight against corruption.

Kejriwal came to power in Delhi after a stunning debut in the Assembly election riding high on the anti-corruption wave and the poll promises in which he vowed to end corruption through the Jan Lokpal Bill.
