Ranchi: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal, along with leaders of his party including Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, met his Jharkhand counterpart Hemant Soren on Friday, to seek support against the Centre's Ordinance on control over administrative services in Delhi.
Yesterday, after meeting Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin in a bid to drum up support from the Opposition against the Centre's ordinance, Kejriwal said that he was assured that DMK will stand by AAP and the people of Delhi.
Notably, Kejriwal had on May 23 embarked on a nationwide tour to seek support from the Opposition parties against the Ordinance.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor has so far met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav.
The Union government on May 19 brought an ordinance to notify rules for the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) regarding the 'transfer posting, vigilance and other incidental matters'.
The ordinance was brought to amend the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991 and it circumvents the Supreme Court judgement in the Centre vs Delhi case. (with ANI inputs)
