The Delhi Congress today organised a demonstration on Sunday to save the Delhi Metro.

The demonstration was led by the state unit chief Ajay Maken.

The protest was held against the AAP and BJP governments. The protest was flagged off at the Tilak Nagar metro station in the national capital.

A signature campaign was also held where metro users could add their names and numbers to the petition.

The Congress blames the AAP and BJP for the condition of the Delhi metro that Maken says is one of the flagship projects of the Congress.

"Kejriwal and the BJP are fighting and the people of Delhi are caught in the middle. The recent fare hike has hit the final nail in the coffin. We will fight for the people of Delhi", said Ajay Maken.

The state unit of the Congress are visiting various metro stations in the national capital as part of their demonstration.
