Amidst the ongoing campaign for Lok Sabha elections in Punjab and Delhi, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will today meet Aam Aadmi Party supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, lodged in Tihar Jail in the Delhi Liquor Policy case. This is the second meeting between CM Mann and Kejriwal in 15 days. The meeting will take place from 12:30 pm.
This meeting is considered very important because there are Lok Sabha elections in Delhi after exactly 25 days and in Punjab after a month. There is Aam Aadmi Party government in both the states. Election strategy will be made in this meeting.
Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by ED on March 21. Since then he is lodged in Tihar Jail. Now Lok Sabha elections are round the corner. In such a situation, the entire responsibility has fallen on the Chief Minister. This time he is playing the role of star campaigner and strategist in his party.
On the other hand, India is taking part in the election campaign. Now the election will reach its peak. In such a situation, both the leaders will make a strategy on which party line to campaign on and which issues to raise. Even before this, CM Mann has done road shows and rallies in Punjab. Apart from this, he has come to Assam and Gujarat to take part in the nomination process of his candidates.
This meeting between Kejriwal and Mann has been described as a wild meeting. It will have an iron mesh, which will separate the prisoner from the visitor in a cell inside the jail. Complete arrangements have been made by Punjab and Tihar Police for this meeting.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Arvind Kejriwal both are senior AAP leaders, but their family relations are also quite cordial. CM Bhagwant Mann himself has said this. CM had told that his father had died in the year 2011. In such a situation, the rituals that the father had to perform at the time of marriage were performed by Arvind Kejriwal himself.
Along with this, after Arvind Kejriwal went to jail, a daughter was born in Bhagwant Mann's house. In such a situation, when Kejriwal came to know about this, he congratulated CM Bhagwant Mann while talking to the media during his appearance.
