AAP sit-in at LG's waiting room enters Day 3, Delhi Deputy CM begins hunger strike
AAP protest, LG waiting room
Manish Sisodia said he would be joining his cabinet colleague Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain on an indefinite hunger strike. Jain began his hunger strike Tuesday
The sit-in by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his cabinet colleagues at the Lieutenant Governor's office entered Day 3 on Wednesday.
"The struggle continues," Kejirwal tweeted early this morning.
Deputy CM Manish Sisodia meanwhile announced that he would join Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain on an indefinite hunger strike. Jain had gone on hunger strike on Tuesday.
Kejirwal and his ministers had on Monday gone to meet LG Anil Baijal to ask him to get Delhi's IAS officers to call off their "strike".
They began their sit in when Baijal refused to meet them.
Baijal however has said the IAS officers are not on strike and that there therefore is no reason for Kejriwal's protest.
Delhi's bureaucrats and Kejriwal have been at loggerheads ever since the city's chief secretary Anshu Prakash was allegedly assaulted by two AAP MLAs.
The alleged assault took place at Kejriwal's residence and reportedly in the chief minister's presence.
The Aam AAdmit Party added later that it would march on the LG's residence today at 4 pm.
