The party members and supporters will carry out a candle light protest on Thursday evening, and will walk up to the Prime Minister's Office on Sunday.
More than 1,000 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supporters carried out a protest march from the chief minister's residence to Raj Niwas on Wednesday evening. The march was against "illegal strike" by IAS officers in the Capital. The party members and supporters will carry out a candlelight protest on Thursday evening, and will walk up to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on Sunday.
Donning white caps and shouting slogans, the protesters demanded approval of door-to-door delivery of ration and a solution to the ongoing tussle between the AAP ministers and bureaucrats. The bright sun and the increased humidity, however, did not dampen the spirit of the protesters.
The slogan -"L-G Delhi chhodo" got louder and stronger as thousands of legs marched towards Raj Niwas where CM Arvind Kejriwal along with Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain and Gopal Rai are on dharna since Monday, waiting to meet L-G Anil Baijal over their demands.
The protest which continued for an hour saw more than 200 policemen barricading the area. The Raj Niwas that houses the office of the L-G was surrounded by cops.
However, the party leaders and the protesters were stopped at barricades put up near Aruna Asif Ali Hospital, from where the protesters raised slogans and asked the L-G to agree to their demands.
Offering a deal to the IAS officers, Rajya Sabha MP and senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh asked the IAS officers to cooperate with the ministers and end the tussle."If the IAS officers give assurance in writing to end their strike and resume work, we will appeal the chief minister and his colleagues to end their sit-in at the L-G office," said Sanjay Singh.
Accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the present situation in Delhi, former finance minister Yashwant Sinha said, "If former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee were there, he would have directed the home minister to find a solution to the crisis, but the present dispensation is sleeping."
The party has said it will take out a candlelight march on Thursday. "If the matter was not sorted by Sunday, our leaders and workers would stage a dharna at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO)," added Singh.
