New Delhi: As the silent protest by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his ministers reached its 9^th day on Tuesday; Congress lashed out at AAP Government calling the protest- ‘a drama’. Taking on Delhi Chief Minister, Congress said that he not secular, ‘but opportunist’. Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of turning a blind eye to the "anarchy" in Delhi and aiding "chaos and disorder" in the national capital, where Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as well as the BJP are staging competing sit-ins. The people of Delhi are the victims, Gandhi alleged. "Delhi CM, sitting in dharna at LG office. BJP sitting in dharna at CM residence. Delhi bureaucrats addressing press conferences. "PM turns a blind eye to the anarchy; rather nudges chaos and disorder. People of Delhi are the victims, as this drama plays out," Gandhi said on Twitter. Speaking at the AICC briefing, Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari termed the developments in the city as "unfortunate" and said the party was keeping a close watch on the situation. "What is happening in Delhi is extremely unfortunate. It is an evolving situation. We are observing the same very carefully and keeping a close watch on the developments," he told reporters.
