"The Constitution does not require us to take permission for the Jan Lokpal Bill. We will fight on the streets. We are not here to save our government, but save the nation from corruption," Mr Kejriwal told the house. (Should Kejriwal quit over stalled bill? Vote here)
Legislators from other parties shouted angrily as he said he was tabling the proposal to set up an ombudsman agency to investigate corrupt government officers.
The BJP and the Congress said Delhi's constitutional head, the Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, has vetoed the bill and it should not be taken up for consideration because it does not have his assent.
The union government's lawyers say that's obligatory partly because the ombudsman agency Mr Kejriwal is proposing will be funded at least in part by funds from the centre.
The protests in the assembly forced the Speaker to call for a vote. The majority rejected the tabling of the proposal. (Read: Kejriwal's family watches as Congress, BJP launch attack)
"I reject the Centre's illegal directives," a combative Mr Kejriwal declared, rejecting the opinion that the bill must be sanctioned by the Lieutenant Governor or the Centre before it is reviewed by the state legislature.
Supporters gathered at the AAP office cheered as they watched the live telecast of the Chief Minister's address. (Amid talk of Kejriwal's resignation, a growing crowd at AAP office)
After the assembly adjourned, Mr Kejriwal drove to his office in his Wagon R. He had said he would resign if he is prevented by other parties from introducing the bill.
Mr Kejriwal has said that the Jan Lokpal bill is the heart of his party's agenda and is essential to cleanse the polity of deep-rooted graft.
