Delhi Officers Strike Has PM Modi's Blessing, Arvind Kejriwal Tells NDTV

On the sixth day of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's sit-in, the deadlock between the Aam Aadmi Party and Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal over the IAS officers' alleged "strike" remains unresolved. The Aam Aadmi Party in a press conference this evening said that they will be marching tomorrow at 4 pm from the Mandi House in the New Delhi area to the Prime Minister's residence to build pressure on him to act. Mr Kejriwal, along with his colleagues, Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, health minister Satyendar Jain and development minister Gopal Rai stayed put at the Lt Governor's office even today. Mr Jain and Mr Sisodia started a hunger strike on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. On Friday, Mr Kejriwal wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the second time, asking for his intervention to end the "strike", which according to Mr Kejriwal, has been going on for the past four months. While he stays camped inside the Lt Governor's house, NDTV sent some questions to Arvind Kejriwal, and he sent back his replies through a video.
