Kejriwal on meeting PM Modi: 'State and centre need to work together for Delhi'

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and took up a host of issues, including his government's tussle with Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, as he sought the Centre's cooperation irrespective of the differences in "political ideologies". The chief minister, who was accompanied by his deputy Manish Sisodia for the meeting with Modi, also raised the issue of "Delhi Police being at war with his government" and touched upon the row over the appointment of the Delhi Anti- Corruption Bureau. "We met the Prime Minister and told him that for the development of Delhi and benefit of its people, the Centre and the state government should work in tandem. "I asked him (Modi) that when he was the Gujarat chief minister, how many times was the state government's order declared null and void by the governor. That was the time when Congress was in power at the Centre, but how many times did the government declare their orders null and void? There is not even one example," he added. The ruling AAP in Delhi has been locked in a power tussle with the Lt Governor in recent months.
