Arvind Kejriwal seeks appointment with LG Anil Baijal

New Delhi: At a time when the AAP is trying to corner lieutenant-governor Anil Baijal over sacked minister Kapil Mishra’s frequent meeting with the L-G, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has written a letter to Mr Baijal seeking a meeting with him to discuss issues concerning the national capital. In his letter, Mr Kejriwal said he could not meet him on Wednesday due to the Assembly’s one-day special session, adding that the L-G and the chief minister should meet more frequently, at least once a week.

The party has alleged that Mr Baijal has never time to meet its MLAs, while Mr Mishra could easily reach him. Mr Mishra had met the L-G on May 29. Mr Mishra, the Karawal Nagar MLA, had met the L-G last month after levelling charges of corruption against Mr Kejriwal, whom he accused of taking unaccounted Rs 2 crore from health minister Satyendar Jain.
