The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for questioning in the liquor policy case on Dec 21.

This is the second time the central probe agency has summoned the Aam Aadmi Party boss. He was earlier summoned on Nov 2.

Kejriwal had skipped that summon and has instead gone on to campaign for his party in Madhya Pradesh.

Meanwhile, the INDIA bloc will meet on Tuesday after the Congress's electoral reverses in the heartland states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

The party lost Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh to the BJP and failed to win Madhya Pradesh leading it to face massive criticism from INDIA allies.

Earlier in the day, Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress declared that the Congress should quit its "Zamindari culture" and work towards presenting senior leaders like Mamata Banerjee as the face of the alliance.
