Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and his colleagues' sit-in protest at Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's house continued late into evening as they stick on to their demands. Recent images have shown that Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia in sofas at the Lt. Governor's house while many party workers camped outside.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders demand that the governor should approve the proposal of doorstep delivery of rations and also take actions on IAS officers who have been boycotting work for the last four months.
Meanwhile the Lt. Governor's office released a communique accusing CM of "threatening him" and denied any strike or suspension of work by IAS officers.
The impression from interaction with the officers is that "no sincere efforts have been made to assure the officers that their respect and dignity will be protected and they will not be intimidated, physically or verbally assaulted and threatened," the Lieutenant Governor said. His advice to build an atmosphere of trust has been disregarded, the communique said.
Mr. Kejriwal tweeted as a response to Lt. Governor's comments said that many officers had told him that they have been threatened by Raj Niwas of dire consequences if they withdraw strike.
