Centre's attack on democracy...: Hemant Soren after meeting Kejriwal over Delhi Ordinance

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann held a meeting with Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren on Friday to get his support in their fight against the ordinance over control of administrative services in the national capital.

The two chief ministers arrived in Jharkhand capital on a special flight from Chennai around 9 pm on Thursday.

Speaking with mediapersons after the meeting, Kejriwal said, " "...We are going across the country and we have received good cooperation from all parties. I thank Hemant Soren & his party, he has assured us all support against this Ordinance. I appeal to all other parties too to oppose this Ordinance."

He further added, "This Ordinance will be introduced in the Parliament during the monsoon session. BJP has the majority in Lok Sabha but not in Rajya Sabha. So, if all non-BJP parties unite, this Ordinance can be defeated. This is not only about Delhi but about the federal principles of the country..."

On Thursday, both Kejriwal and Mann met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin who accused the Centre of creating a crisis in the non-BJP-ruled states.
