Mr. Kejriwal said that 12 years ago they had gathered at the Ramlila Maidan to fight against corruption and now they had gathered again at the same venue to fight and defeat a “greedy king”. “We have gathered over here to defeat a dictator. Just like how that fight 12 years ago was successful, I am confident that this fight that we are starting from this holy ground of the Ramlila Maidan will also be successful and the dictatorship that we are experiencing in this country will come to an end,” Mr. Kejriwal said.
He said the Prime Minister’s anti-Delhi ordinance infringes upon the tenets of democracy and aimed to put Delhi under dictatorship.
On May 19, the Union government brought the ordinance designating the Central government-appointed Lieutenant Governor (L-G) as the administrator of Delhi, who will have the final say on the postings and transfer of all bureaucrats serving in the Delhi government.
