Arvind Kejriwal meets Home Minister Rajnath Singh

New Delhi, Feb 11 (IBNS): Delhi CM-designate Arvind Kejriwal met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday.
 
He was accompanied by his colleague Manish Sisodia. 
 
While the meeting is seen as a courtesy call, the Home Ministry and AAP government in Delhi might have differences over the role of police in Delhi. 
 
AAP might demand that the police force in Delhi should be under the control of Delhi government and not the Centre.
 
AAP registered a landslide win in Delhi polls bagging 67 of the 70 seats of the assembly. BJP won only three while Congress scored a zilch. 
 
Earlier, Kejriwal met Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu during the day.

Naidu said he has assured Kejriwal that the Cerntre will cooperate with the state.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Naidu said: "I have assured him that the Centre will cooperate with State for the development of the people of Delhi."

Winning 67 seats out of the total 70, the AAP surpassed the figures that were projected by exit polls on Saturday when Delhi had voted to elect a new Assembly.

Starting another innings in his political career, Kejriwal, who had shocked Delhi by resigning as the Delhi Chief Minister last year Feb only after 49 days in power, will take oath on Saturday.

Kejriwal is all set to take oath as the chief minister of Delhi for the second time on Saturday.
