Later, Bidhuri said that the LG assured the BJP delegation that he will forward the representation given to him in the matter to the Arvind Kejriwal government for necessary action.

“If the AAP government does not take a decision in this matter within a week, then the BJP leaders and workers will protest outside CM residence,” Bidhuri said.

No reaction was available from the Delhi government on the development.
