CM Arvind Kejriwal calls up Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray for support


Mumbai, Jun 19 (Deccan Chronicle): Amid the tug of war between the AAP dispensation and Lieutenant Governor, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal called up Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and apprised him about the situation in the national capital.

Media advisor to Thackeray, Harshal Pradhan, said Kejriwal called Thackeray on Sunday. "Uddhav ji feels that the duly-elected government by people of Delhi should be allowed to function sans any hindrance in its working," he said.

"This, however, does not amount to the Shiv Sena, a key NDA constituent, supporting Kejriwal and the AAP," Pradhan said, dismissing media reports in this connection.

The AAP-led government is locked in a war with L-G Anil Baijal over administrative issues since a week.

The AAP on Monday thanked the Shiv Sena and the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) for supporting it against the “unprecedented murder of democracy” in Delhi.

“It is a true statesmanship to stand up for democracy keeping aside differences,” AAP spokesperson Preeti Sharma Menon said. The MNS had last week asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi if it was not his job to resolve the deadlock between Kejriwal and bureaucrats which was causing “inconvenience” to people.

Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party on Monday extended its support to the Delhi chief minister with a senior party leader saying, “if needed, we will also sit on a dharna”.
