Security staff of the chief minister then forcibly remove the protesters from the scene as Kejriwal’s car speeds off.
The protesters, reports say, are sacked employees of a government hospital in Delhi.
One of them said that they have been removed from duty for the last four months and are now unable to meet their daily needs.
They accuse the Delhi CM of ignoring them whenever they approach him.

In Delhi, hospital workers have been protesting over minimum wage for quite some time now. Employed by private firms, these workers demand the wage as per law.
The protest before Kejriwal’s car comes at a time when suspended AAP leader Kapil Mishra accused the AAP chief of not attending office and taking leaves to watch movies.
