Arvind Kejriwal To Boycott Mega Opposition Meet If Congress Doesn’t Support AAP Against Centre Ordinance

If the Congress does not back the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government against the ordinance brought by the Centre for control of services, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) would boycott the opposition meeting to be held on June 23 in Patna, according to sources.

AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal urged opposition leaders in a letter to make the Delhi ordinance as a top priority issue to be discussed at the upcoming meeting.

In the letter, he highlighted the need to take clear political stance and a comprehensive viewpoint, pointing out that if the law is passed, it may have an impact on other states that are not governed by the BJP and may limit the authority of state governments in matters pertaining to concurrent lists.

The Delhi chief minister stated at a press conference a few days ago, “I hope the parties will ask the Congress to clarify its view on the subject. The meeting’s first topic of discussion will be the ordinance.

Arvind Kejriwal, has been gathering opposition support against central ordinance that claimed the lieutenant governor, not the Delhi government, had the final say on transfers and postings of officials in Delhi.

Opposition leaders from nearly 20 parties will gather in Patna on Friday for the Mega Opposition meet to discuss strategy to take on BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar and the head of the Janata Dal (United), invited the conference as part of his ongoing efforts to bring the opposition together.

In order to defeat the saffron party in the Lok Sabha elections, the operational goal for the opposition meeting is to ensure a common candidate at 450 seats already designated by Nitish as potential locations.
