Arvind Kejriwal to boycott mega Opposition meet if Congress doesn't oppose Delhi ordinance

Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has threatened to boycott the Opposition meeting in Patna on June 23 if the Congress does not lend its support to the Delhi government led by Arvind Kejriwal regarding the ordinance introduced by the Central government for service control, reported India Today.

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal had previously written a letter to opposition leaders, urging them to prioritize the Delhi ordinance as the primary topic of discussion in the forthcoming meeting.

In his letter, Arvind Kejriwal underscored the importance of taking clear political stances and adopting a comprehensive perspective.

He highlighted that if the bill is passed, it could have implications not only for Delhi but also for other states not ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), as it might encroach upon the powers of state governments in matters listed under the concurrent list.

Kejriwal urged opposition leaders to recognize the potential wider impact of the ordinance and address it collectively.

A gathering of Opposition leaders from around 20 parties is scheduled to take place in Patna for a significant opposition meeting on Friday.

The purpose of the meeting is to formulate a collective strategy to challenge the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections next year.

The meeting was convened by Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar and leader of the Janata Dal (United), who has been actively working towards fostering unity among opposition parties.

The primary objective of the Opposition meeting is reportedly to ensure the selection of a common candidate to contest against the BJP in approximately 450 constituencies, as identified by Nitish, with the aim of defeating the saffron party in the Lok Sabha polls.
