What kind of democracy is this, asks Kejriwal
An elected CM @vnarayanasami is being forced to sleep on road since last three nights. What kind of democracy is this? Those elected by the voters are begging in front of those defeated. Why is vote of those living in Delhi n Puducherry inferior to other states?
