The nearly two-hour-long meeting was held against the backdrop of differences cropping up between the government and the local Congress on various issues including MCD's ongoing demolition drive against the unauthorised constructions in the national capital.

The meeting, also attended by Ashok Gehlot, AICC General Secretary incharge of Delhi, is understood to have reviewed "contentious" issues which were arisen in the recent past.

Emerging from the meeting, Gehlot told reporters that various issues that had come up before the Coordination Committee formed for better understanding between Government and the party were discussed.
