"The Congress should support this. Nitty gritty of a joint united opposition for 2024 polls can be worked out in the meeting scheduled," said Arvind Kejriwal
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal sent a third message to Congress today, seeking support against the Centre's proposed law to restore Lieutenant Governor's control over transfer and postings of bureaucrats in the national capital. The Congress has so far been on the fence of the Centre's executive order last month which nullified a Supreme Court order that upheld the elected government's control over bureaucrats.
Mr Kejriwal, who plans to challenge the Centre's move in court, is also assembling political back-up.
He has already met several key opposition leaders including the Congress's Maharashtra allies Uddhav Thackeray and veteran leader Sharad Pawar, today met the Congress ally in the south -- DMK chief and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin.
At the press briefing later, Mr Kejriwal made his message clear. "The Congress should support this. Nitty gritty of a joint united opposition for 2024 polls can be worked out in the meeting scheduled," he said.
