Akhilesh Yadav assures party’s support to Arvind Kejriwal on Centre’s ordinance issue

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday assured his party’s support to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal against the Centre’s ordinance on control of services in the national capital.

The SP chief’s remarks came after Kejriwal met him here amid efforts by the AAP to garner support against the Centre’s



ordinance.

Addressing a press conference here, Yadav said his party will support the AAP on the issue.

Kejriwal, the national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party, has been reaching out to leaders of non-BJP parties to garner their support against the ordinance so that the Centre’s bid to replace it through a Bill is defeated when it is brought in Parliament.
