527

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) will support the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in its fight against the Centre's ordinance on control of services in Delhi, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee announced in Kolkata on Tuesday shortly after meeting her Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal.

As part of a nationwide tour to garner support for his fight against the Centre's ordinance, CM Kejriwal along with his party's CM for Punjab Bhagwant Mann met Banerjee in Kolkata. They were accompanied by AAP leaders Raghav Chadha and Atishi Singh.

While Bihar CM Nitish Kumar recently announced his support for Kejriwal in this fight, the Congress has yet to make its stance clear on the matter and said it would consult state units and other like-minded parties.

Kejriwal is scheduled to meet Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai on Wednesday and will later also talk to NCP supremo Sharad Pawar.

Meanwhile, the BJP is busy adding up the numbers to make sure it has enough seats in the Rajya Sabha to get the ordinance passed during the monsoon session.c
