Dharna politics continues.
On Wednesday, there is no end in sight for the unique dharna that’s being led by Arvind Kejriwal and three of his cabinet colleagues in the LG’s office.
Kejriwal, Sisodia, Satyendar Jain and Gopal Rai have been holed up at the LG’s office since Monday demanding that the LG take action including a direction to IAS officers to end their "strike" and action against those who have struck work for "four months".
He wrote on Twitter: “Good morning to all Delhiites. Good morning, the struggle to overcome the barriers to the development of Delhi's development continues. Our self-realization is our strength.
Meanwhile, Manish Sisodia, the deputy CM wrote on Twitter: “Today is the third day of waiting for LG's waiting room. They have not got the time to order the IAS officers to end the strike and to approve the ration file. Do not do anything for LG Electronics, since three days and their conscience is proof that the IAS strike is going on at the behest of LG.”
Sisodia further wrote: “From today, I am also sitting on indefinite fast for the people of Delhi to get their entitlements and to get the work done for them. Satyendra Jain's fasting is also continuing since yesterday. Our self-confidence and public trust is our strength.”
He will be joining his colleague Satyendar Jain who started the his hunger strike yesterday.
Last night Kejriwal had tweeted: “"Our 2nd nite at LG House. We r here becoz. We luv Del n we care for Del. We hv worked v hard for Del. We want Del to further improve. We feel shattered becoz many great initiatives getting stuck. Lets improve our beloved Del, LG Sir. N lets do it togethr (sic)," he tweeted.”
After the meeting ended around 6 pm on Monday, the chief minister said that he and his cabinet colleagues were going to stay at the waiting room of the L-G office as their demands were refused by Baijal.
Kejriwal has sought from Baijal his direction to IAS officers to end their strike, punishment to officers who struck work and approval to his government's doorstep ration delivery scheme.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday criticised Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his cabinet colleagues for protesting at the Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's office.
Speaking to ANI Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay said, "Kejriwal has failed to deliver on all his promises- be it security for women, CCTV installations, unemployment and many more. He never brought development in the city, nor in the statehood issue. Just because he didn't do anything for the national capital, he has always blamed the Centre for it.?
"Kejriwal always has an issue with someone or the other- like Lieutenant Governor, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Instead of planning for development, he has only accused the government," Upadhyay added.
During their sit-in at the L-G office, Arvind Kejriwal and his cabinet colleagues were quite active on social media, with the chief minister retweeting around 55 tweets in 13 hours since morning.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Development Minister Gopal Rai were also active on Twitter.
Their sit-in began last evening over three demands, including a direction to IAS officers to end their "strike".
The deputy chief minister retweeted around 42 tweets during the stay at the L-G office.
Kejriwal and Sisodia both posted their own views on the microblogging site and also kept on retweeting. Some of their retweets were comments on tweets by their colleagues, journalists, among others.
Gopal Rai was also quite active on the Twitter since morning.
However, Health Minister Satyendar Jain, who is also at the L-G office since last evening, was not active since afternoon as he went on an indefinite hunger strike.
Today, the Lt Governor did not come to his office as he had meetings in Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry.
Sources said Kejriwal and his cabinet colleagues got food from outside the L-G office while tea and snacks were served to them by the L-G Secretariat.
Last night, Kejriwal, who is diabetic, had to take insulin during the sit-in and got "specific food" from his home. P
