Earlier in the day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had slammed Goel for his statement that 14 AAP MLAs were in touch with the BJP.
Attacking Goel over his remarks, Kejriwal in a tweet said, ''Goyal Sahib, where the talk has been struck? How much are you paying? How much are they demanding?''
The AAP leader's resignation today comes just days ahead of the May 12 polling in Delhi for seven Lok Sabha seats.
In Delhi, there is daylong voting in the sixth and penultimate phase of the general elections.
The seven-phase Lok Sabha polls will culminate on May 19 and results will be announced on May 23.
