New Delhi, December 15: A group of temple priests led by BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri staged a protest near Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence in Civil Lines on Wednesday demanding monthly salaries.

Bidhuri said on one hand, Kejriwal on Twitter talks about giving equal status to all people irrespective of their caste or religion, while on the other, he is giving salaries to imams and maulvis but not to temple priests and granthi in gurudwaras. Bank Strike from Tomorrow; Banks to Remain Shut for Next 4 Days this Week, Strike On December 16 and 17 Against Privatisation.

The South Delhi MP accused Kejriwal of playing vote bank politics. "Now, he is trying to dupe the people of Punjab, Goa, and Uttarakhand with tall promises for garnering votes. His discriminatory work style shows his political greed clearly," he alleged.
