Delhi: BJP counters Delhi Ministers by resorting to sit-in at state secretariat

New Delhi, Jun 13 (IBNS): In a counter to the Delhi ministers' protests outside Lieutenant Governor (LG) Anil Baijal's office, several Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lawmakers  staged a  sit-in at the state secretariat in the national capital on Wednesday.

To mark the protest, the BJP MLAs  sat down at the Chief Minister's waiting room.

The move is aimed at forcing the ministers of the Aam Aadmi Party Government  to stop their protests and get back to work.

The Delhi BJP has also alleged that the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP Government is doing a  drama to divert people's attention from water and electricity issues in the national capital.

Several Delhi Ministers along with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal are continuing their protests outside Leiutenant Governor (LG) Anil Baijal's office for the third consecutive day to pressurise the LG to fulfill Delhi government's demands, media reports said.

The AAP leaders are pressing the LG to direct the bureaucrats to join work as they had allegedly gone on to an unofficial strike.

The ministers have also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is using LG Baijal and bureaucrats to make Kejriwal unable to perform his duties.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Kejriwal said: "Aren’t IAS officers merely tools being used by Modi govt to scuttle good work being done by Del govt? Is it possible for IAS officers to return to work without green signal from PMO?"

Kejriwal said in another tweet, "Central govt using IAS officers as a tool to provoke rebellion against an elected govt"

Months ago, two AAP MLAs were accused of assaulting Delhi Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash.
