New Delhi: Delhi's chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and his supporters launched a sit-in against the city police on Monday, creating traffic chaos in the city they govern. Four major metro stations remained closed. The evening rush hour saw a gridlock around India Gate in the heart of the city.
"Some say I am an anarchist, that I am spreading anarchy. I am willing to agree to that," Mr Kejriwal told demonstrators this morning.
A series of tweets from the Delhi Police warned that major roads in Central Delhi were closed.
Mr Kejriwal he called on the public to join him in a ten-day protest to demand the police be transferred to his control. It currently reports to the union home ministry, a point that has irked earlier chief ministers as well.
Later supporters scuffled with police.
