Guvs, Lt Guvs hindering elected govts: Kejriwal

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today alleged that several states in the country are being harassed by Centre-appointed governors and Lt Governors, who have been doing it by obstructing the elected government’s work, even as he wondered whether a “dark shadow” was being cast over democracy.

“On the 74th Republic day, we need to ponder how to save democracy from these Laat Sahibs(governors/ LGs),” Kejriwal said at a Republic Day function.

The AAP chief also referred to alleged “tussle” of the Centre with the judiciary, state govts, as well as farmers and traders, and called for an end to such fights so that India could become the “number one” country in the world.
