Delhi News Today, Delhi Highlights: The President today cleared the appointments of AAP MLAs Saurabh Bharadwaj and Atishi to the Delhi cabinet, and also accepted the resignations of jailed former ministers Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain.

In other news, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the arrest of Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain. “The PM has thrown patriots like Manish Sisodia and Satyendra Jain in jail on one hand, and embraced a person because of whom the country has suffered immense economic losses,” Kejriwal said, without specifying a name.

“I’m not worried about Satyendra Jain and Manish Sisodia, I’m worried about the state of the country given the fact that the PM has chosen a criminal over them,” Kejriwal said, while addressing a press conference. “On Holi, I have decided to meditate, reflect and pray for the country. If you, too, believe that what the country has come to is worrying, if you think that what PM Modi is doing is wrong, I request you too to do the same after playing Holi,” the CM added.
