Democracy suffering, every tenet of Constitution compromised: Delhi CM

A day before his appearance before the CBI, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday wrote to his Tamil Nadu counterpart M K Stalin, saying democracy in India is being dealt blows every single day and the country's federal structure is in grave danger.

He said the interface of the state governments and their Governors or Lt Governors has effectively become "a battlefront where a silent war is being waged by the Union government." The governors and Lt Governors are "wilfully" undermining democratically elected state governments and obstructing administration as per their "whims and fancies", the Delhi chief minister charged. Kejriwal also commended Tamil Nadu Assembly for passing a resolution seeking a time-frame for governors to approve bills passed by the state legislatures, and s
