Her resignation comes after a long-drawn resistance against the Centre’s move to replace the governors appointed during UPA regime. 
 
As per reports, Dikshit will now be back to Delhi to prepare for the prospective Assembly elections in the state. 
 
An FIR is already lodged against the former Delhi chief minister in a streetlight scheme scam that took place prior to the 2010 Commonwealth Games. The FIR was lodged under the Prevention of Corruption Act. 
 
The complaint alleges Dikshit and her ex-Cabinet colleague Rajkumar Chauhan made “illegal gains” for themselves and caused a loss of Rs 31.07 crore to the exchequer. 
 
The complaint accuses her of “displaying an unusual interest in the project and favouring a company which was earlier declared ineligible for the project.” 
 
“…It appears that there was clear collusion with vendors by some officials and the then chief minister/ministers to cause a huge financial loss to the government and wrongful gain to the vendors/contractors and others,” the complaint said. The police would now be free to take action against her as she has lost the immunity that she enjoyed as the Governor.
