Arvind Kejriwal meets Amit Shah, discusses issues related to Delhi
New Delhi/UNI/IBNS: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal met Union Home Minister Amit Shah at his residence here on Wednesday, in a 'courtesy call' after the Assembly polls in Delhi.
Addressing a press conference after the meeting, Kejriwal said, "I met with Home Minister Amit Shah Ji today. It was a fruitful meeting, with a cordial atmosphere. Various issues and matters concerning the people of Delhi were discussed during the meeting. We mutually agreed on working together for the development of Delhi."
Kejriwal informed that the central and state government will work together on various matters including women security to avoid any differences in approach, as there is a major division of power and responsibilities when it comes to the functioning of departments in Delhi.
"We have agreed that both the governments will work together on all matters concerning Delhi, including significant issues such as women's security," said the third-time CM of Delhi.

This is the first meet after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener took over the reins of the national capital for the third consecutive term at the Ramlila Maidan, on Feb 16.
Speaking on that day, Kejriwal had made it clear that he wants to work with his opponents as well for the welfare of people of Delhi.
He had appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to support him develop Delhi.
Kejriwal had said there is a need to rise above all party politics and think for the welfare of Delhi and the nation.
"All the 2 crore people of Delhi are my family members. Whichever party you belong to...it doesn't matter, come to me anytime you need," he had said.
"I have forgiven all my opponents for their hate speech. I want to work for the welfare of Delhi with all parties," Kejriwal had said.
