New Delhi: Aam Aadmi party leaders and workers have joined the protestors gathered to march to the Prime Minister’s residence on Sunday against the lack of response by L-G Anil Baijal and Centre to the ‘dharna’ by Arvind Kejriwal and his ministers.
From almost a week, Delhi CM, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and cabinet ministers Satyender Jain and Gopal Rai has been camping in Raj Niwas demanding L-G’s order to IAS officers to end their ‘strike’ and approve doorstep ration delivery scheme.
