Delhi CM Kejriwal thanks Kharge for Congress’ support on Delhi Ordinance

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday thanked Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for extending his party’ support to the AAP on Delhi Ordinace, saying the issue should be fought tooth and nail.

Kejriwal’s remark comes ahead of a crucial two-day meeting of the 26 opposition parties scheduled to start in Bengaluru later in the day with an agenda to chalk out a joint strategy to take on the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

“Thank you Kharge ji for standing with the people of Delhi. This ordinance is anti-India and anti-national and ought to be fought tooth and nail,” The Aam Aadmi Party national convenor said in a tweet.

The BJP-led central government had in May brought an ordinance on the transfer and posting of bureaucrats in Delhi, virtually negating an earlier Supreme Court verdict that had given the elected government in Delhi the control over services matters.
