New Delhi: Scores of BJP workers today staged a protest outside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence in Delhi, demanding his resignation over the alleged auto-rickshaw permit scam.
Holding Mr Kejriwal and Transport Minister Gopal Rai accountable for the scam, the demonstrators led by BJP's Delhi unit chief Satish Upadhyay demanded their resignations.
Addressing the demonstrators, Mr Upadhyay said that Delhi's auto-rickshaw drivers, who gave full respect and support to Mr Kejriwal, today feel cheated.
Mr Upadhyay said people have lost faith in this Government and BJP demands the resignation of Mr Kejriwal and Mr Rai.
Delhi government on Saturday had scrapped more than 900 auto-rickshaw permits in Delhi after alleged irregularities in their allotment. It had also suspended three transport department officials over alleged corruption in issuing fresh Letters of Intents (LOIs) for three-wheelers.
