Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal greeted citizens on the occasion of the 74th Republic Day on Thursday. In his wishes, Kejriwal asserted that it was the responsibility of all the people to strengthen democracy in the country. The people and the rule by the people are the most important in a republic, he said.

"Many congratulations and good wishes to all the countrymen on Republic Day. In a republic, the people and the rule by the people are most important. Our freedom fighters made many sacrifices to establish the republic of India. Now it's our responsibility to strengthen this republic," Kejriwal's tweet in Hindi read.

Kejriwal, on Thursday, had raised the concerns of alleged "harassment" faced by states and UTs at the hands of the Centre-appointed Governors and LGs. He expressed his issues at the Delhi government's Republic Day function.

Kejriwal also wondered if a dark shadow was looming over democracy in the country.
