Arvind Kejriwal, along with Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Cabinet ministers Satyendra Jain and Gopal Rai, has been camping at the official accommodation-cum-office of L-G Anil Baijal since Monday evening.

The demands include an end to the Delhi IAS officers' undeclared strike and approval to his government's proposal for doorstep delivery of ration to the poor.

In a symbolic protest, AAP leaders from all 70 assembly constituencies in Delhi sent ration packets to the prime minister's residence to make a point that Baijal should clear the ambitious proposal to deliver ration at the doorstep.

News agency PTI reported that the party is also planning for a door-to-door campaign starting from June 18 to gather signatures of at least 10 lakh families, which they will forward to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he has not responded to the demands yet.

The protest has so far garnered support from West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, the Rashtriya Janata Dal and Bihar`s Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav, Union Minister Yashwant Sinha, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav, actors-turned-politicians Kamal Hassan and Shatrughan Sinha.

The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) are also supporting the sit-in.
