New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will meet his Telangana counterpart K Chandrasekhar Rao in Hyderabad on Saturday and seek the support of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) to oppose the Centre’s ordinance on deregulation of services in the national capital. Kejriwal, the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), is reaching out to leaders of non-BJP parties to garner support against the ordinance so that the Centre’s attempt to bring a bill in this regard in Parliament fails.
“Will meet Telangana CM tomorrow in Hyderabad to seek support against unconstitutional and undemocratic ordinance issued by BJP-led government against Supreme Court orders,” Kejriwal tweeted. Earlier this week, Kejriwal in West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar had sought their support in the matter.
Kejriwal has also sought support from Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and State Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on this issue. Kejriwal has also sought an appointment with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and party leader Rahul Gandhi to seek their support in the matter. The Center had on May 19 promulgated an ordinance to set up an authority for transfer and posting of Group-A officers in Delhi, which the AAP-led government termed as a travesty of the Supreme Court verdict on deregulation of services.
