DELHI BJP leaders and workers braved water cannons and several of them were detained by police as they tried to march towards the secretariat building near ITO demanding that arrested Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal step down from his post. Kejriwal has been remanded in the ED custody till March 28 in connection with an Excise Policy-linked money laundering case . At least 57 BJP members, including the party’s Delhi unit chief Virendra Sachdeva, were detained as they pressed ahead to reach the Delhi Secretariat building from the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium where they had gathered in large numbers, police said.

 

Leading the protesters, Sachdeva charged that the AAP Government in Delhi was running “illegally” , saying Kejriwal should resign from the post of chief minister if he has any morality. “Even his former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and former Minister Satyendar Jain may be pondering if Kejriwal can run Government from jail then why he took their resignations after arrest,” he said taking a dig at the Delhi Chief Minister.
