Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will visit Lucknow on Wednesday to meet Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav and seek his support against the Centre's ordinance on the control of administrative services in the national capital.
Kejriwal will be accompanied by AAP MP and state in-charge Sanjay Singh. “Kejriwal will be meeting Akhileshji here on Wednesday evening,” the Samajwadi Party's chief spokesperson Rajendra Chowdhury said.
Kejriwal has so far met his counterparts from various non-BJP led states and leaders of Opposition parties to drum up support against the Centre's ordinance which has taken services out of the Delhi government's purview and handed it over to the L-G.
Leaders who have extended support to the AAP include West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, CPI (M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackery, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and others.
