Kejriwal is sitting on the road for seven days
Arvind Kejriwal has been sitting on dharna for seven days. He said that, we will not be here from here, as long as LG does not direct IAS officers to start cooperation with my government again. For three months they are refusing to attend the meetings we have been invited, and by following any instructions. Have you heard about giving up the work of IAS officers in any part of the country …?
