New Delhi, Dec eight : Sheila Dikshit, Delhi’s chief minister for fifteen years, resigned Sunday once the Congress was routed in assembly elections, with she herself set to lose to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal.

Dikshit submitted her resignation to Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung as vote count showed that the Congress might not win even a dozen seats within the 70-member assembly.
