Dikshit said the role of the Delhi L-G and the CM is defined in the Constitution and wondered why AAP leaders were protesting at Lt Governor Anil Baijal's office since Monday

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal should first read the Constitution and then approach the Prime Minister and the Parliament for full statehood to Delhi, Congress leader Sheila Dikshit said on Friday.

Dikshit said the role of the Delhi L-G and the CM is defined in the Constitution and wondered why AAP leaders were protesting at Lt Governor Anil Baijal's office since Monday. "What is his (Kejriwal's) intention behind it?" She further said that she feels "ashamed" that a chief minister is releasing photos on the Internet sitting on a protest at the L-G's office.
