The protests were held at Jantar Mantar in the heart of the capital. The demonstrators raised slogans and tried to break police barricades.
"We are protesting against the government as they have not been able to fulfill any of the promises made, whether it was about was black money or border incursions," Amit Mallick, Delhi president of the Indian Youth Congress, told IANS.
