4 CMs to meet Kejriwal at L-G's office in Delhi

June 16, 2018 20:24

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy and Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu will meet their Delhi counterpart, Arvind Kejriwal, who is on a sit-in protest at Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's office for the sixth day today.

According to some media reports, earlier, Banerjee was denied permission to meet Kejriwal.

This is getting more and more bizarre, tweeted Kejriwal who has been on dharna at the Raj Niwas since Monday evening, along with three ministers --- Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain and Gopal Rai, demanding that the "strike" by IAS officers in Delhi be called off.

Mamata had pledged her support to Mr Kejriwal earlier this week, appealing to the centre to resolve the problem "immediately".

"Elected Chief Minister must get due respect. May I appeal to the government of India and the LG to resolve the problem immediately so that people do not suffer", she had tweeted on Wednesday.

The four CMs are in Delhi to attend a Niti Aayog meeting on Sunday.
