"Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Ajay Maken blamed the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi and the BJP government (at the Centre) for the present plight of Delhi as MCD sanitation workers and others have been on strike due to non-payment of their salaries," a statement said.
The demonstrations were held in 14 districts including Adarsh Nagar, Karol Bagh, Chandni Chowk, Tilak Nagar, Najafgarh, Rohini, Mehrauli, Badarpur and Karawal Nagar.
