Beyond L-G's limit to refuse CMs to meet: Kejriwal
Arvind Kejriwal has tweeted, "I don't think L-G can take such a decision on his own. Obviously, PMO has directed him to refuse permission. Just like IAS strike is being done at PMO's instance."

'Is this undeclared emergency in Delhi?' asks Sisodia
Deputy CM Manish Sisodia asked if there was a state of undeclared emergency. "How can PMO stop Hon Chief Ministers of other states to meet CM Arvind Kejriwal. Is this undeclared emergency in Delhi?" he tweeted. Kejriwal, Sisodia, and two other cabinet colleagues are sitting on a dharna since Monday demanding that L-G Anil Baijal should direct IAS officers to withdraw their strike.
