Kejriwal-LG tussle: Satyendra Jain hospitalised; top developments

Aam Aadmi Party Strike

The Delhi-Centre impasse continued on Sunday even as state health minister Satyendra Kumar Jain's health deteriorated during the ongoing 'dharna' at Raj Niwas. He was admitted to Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital in Delhi. As the deadlock continuesd, IAS officers came out in public alleging that they had been "targeted and victimised" for political gains. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), for its part, organised a massive march to the Prime Minister's residence. The march was stopped by the police midway. 

The impasse between the AAP dispensation and the officers started four months back with an alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash. Kejriwal has accused the BJP of putting pressure on IAS officers and said their "strike" was being instigated by the Centre's ruling party.
