A meeting scheduled between chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and Kanhaiya Kumar on Thursday had to be cancelled as the JNUSU president failed to reach the Delhi Secretariat on time, “upsetting” the CM who had waited for him nearly an hour.
CPI national secretary D. Raja, who also waited for Kanhaiya along with the CM, said that the student leader could not reach as he got stuck in a “heavy traffic jam”, which apparently did not go down well with the chief minister, sources said.
Mr Kumar was supposed to meet Mr Kejriwal at 6 pm for which Mr Raja, accompanied by his daughter Aparajita, had reached before scheduled time. “He could not reach on time as he got stuck in a traffic jam. By the time he reached near Supreme Court, the CM had already been waiting for nearly one hour.
“So they spoke over the telephone and agreed to meet most likely on Saturday,” Mr Raja said.
While the student leader could not be reached for his comments, his party maintained that since the Delhi police could not provide him security for moving out of the campus he got late and later got stuck in traffic near ITO.
