The indefinite sit-in by BJP leaders at Chief Minister's office in Delhi Secretariat continued today with all the five including rebel AAP legislator Kapil Mishra asserting it will go on till they "expose" the Kejriwal government.

The West Delhi MP Parvesh Verma, the BJP MLAs --Vijender Gupta, who is the Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly, Jagdish Pradhan and Manjinder Singh Sirsa -- and Mishra sat on dharna at the Chief Minister's office at around 12 noon yesterday.

The are demanding an assurance from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to help Delhiites overcome the water "crisis".

After spending over 24 hours, Gupta complained of mosquitoes and got the toilets locked.

"Troubled by mosquitoes whole night. CM has also got the office toilet locked. Our dharna will continue till Kejriwal government is exposed, " he said.

Gupta said that the AAP including Kejriwal were spreading "lies" that IAS officers in his government were not working.

"Even the sanitation workers are on duty at the Secretariat and you(Kejriwalji) are yourself on strike," Gupta tweeted.

Kejriwal and his cabinet colleagues are also on a sit-in at the office of the Lt Governor Anil Baijal for the past four days demanding direction to IAS officers to end their strike and approve the doorstep ration delivery scheme of his government.
