The rain also didn't deter the chief minister and he remained adamant on sitting outside the Rail Bhavan, as his sit-in for pressing the demand for control over Delhi Police and suspension of five policemen continued for the second day Tuesday.
"We will continue to sit here and this will be the best Republic Day. People will come from different parts of the country and this Republic Day there won't be processions but government will find people on the streets," he said.
Earlier in the day, Kejriwal criticised the union home minister, saying Sushilkumar Shinde does not have the right to decide where he should sit for protest.
"Who is Shinde to tell me where to protest and where not to? I am the chief minister of Delhi and I have the right to decide not Shinde, instead I can decide where Shinde can stay," Kejriwal told reporters outside the Rail Bhavan here.
The chief minister, along with his ministers and volunteers, spent the entire night on the road outside the Rail Bhavan raising slogans.
