Arvind Kejriwal is currently on a nationwide tour to rally support from opposition leaders to oppose the ordinance related to the Delhi services matter. In the meeting with KCR, along with other AAP leaders, Kejriwal aimed to seek KCR’s backing against the ordinance. Additionally, he intended to urge the BRS President to oppose the upcoming Bill that the Modi government plans to introduce in Parliament to replace the ordinance.

This meeting is part of a series of interactions between AAP leaders and opposition party leaders in various states. Previously, on May 22, Arvind Kejriwal met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who assured his support in mobilizing opposition against the central government’s move. Kejriwal also met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who guaranteed opposition from the Trinamool Congress when the bill is presented in Parliament. On May 25, Kejriwal, accompanied by Bhagwant Mann, met with Nationalist Congress Party leader Sharad Pawar in Mumbai and separately held discussions with Shiv Sena UBT leader Uddhav Thackeray.

In his efforts to garner support, Arvind Kejriwal has also requested appointments with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and party leader Rahul Gandhi, aiming to secure Congress support in Parliament.
