According to the sources, the meeting was held at the parliament at around 11 am. Both leaders also discussed the alarming situation of coronavirus in the nation’s capital.
“On discussion over the spreading of coronavirus. One case has been listed in Delhi, another in Telangana. It’s a deadly disease spreading across the world,” said the Aam Aadmi Party head.
Congress had a problem
However, Congress on another hand slammed Mr. Kejriwal for his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, maintaining that the AAP leader sounded like he was there to give a clean chit to the Centre and the PM over the communal riots Delhi.
“It seemed, from the way Mr. Kejriwal spoke to the media after meeting the Prime Minister, that “AAP was not the BJP’s B-Team but it was the saffron party’s team“. said Abhishek Singhvi, Congress spokesperson.
