Arvind Kejriwal to meet Narendra Modi today, first since winning the Delhi Assembly polls for another term
New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will meet PM Narendra Modi here on Tuesday, media reports said.
According to reports, the meeting is likely to take place at 11 am.
This is going to be the first meeting between the two leaders ever since Kejriwal led his Aam Aadmi Party to win the Assembly polls in the national capital this year.
The meeting will also take place after a week since over 40 people were killed in violence triggered by the new citizenship law passed by the Centre last year.
Kejriwal had earlier met Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

After the poll victory, Indian PM Narendra Modi had wished Kejriwal over his win.
In a tweet, he wrote: "Congratulations to AAP and Shri @ArvindKejriwal Ji for the victory in the Delhi Assembly Elections. Wishing them the very best in fulfilling the aspirations of the people of Delhi."

Nine months after getting crushed by the mighty Narendra Modi-Amit Shah duo in the 2019 General Elections, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal came back like a Phoenix in the assembly elections on Tuesday riding on the issues of governance challenging the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s agenda of nationalism.
Though the voter turnout was slightly less than the 2015 assembly elections, Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) went passed 60 seat mark (62) to reduce the BJP to single-digit figure reminding the saffron party of its horrific result five years ago in the national capital.
