CM Kejriwal meets PM Modi, invites him to mohalla clinic

New Delhi: Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and invited him to visit “mohalla clinics and schools” in Delhi while asserting that his dispensation will examine whether the Centre’s Ayushman Bharat programme can be integrated with the Delhi government’s health scheme.

Also, Mr Kejriwal sought the Centre’s support in executing the Delhi government’s plant to store Yamuna water during rainy season.  He tweeted that the Delhi government  was planning to store Yamuna water during rainy season.

“One season’s water sufficient to meet one year’s Delhi’s water needs. Requested Centre’s support.”

This was the first meeting between Mr Kejriwal and Mr Modi since the BJP-led NDA has formed government for second term following a thumping victory of the Bhartiya Janata Party in the Lok Sabha elections. During his meeting, Mr Kejriwal, who had skipped the all-party meeting called by the Prime Minister two days back, also assured full cooperation of his government to the Centre.

Mr Kejriwal also invited the Prime Minister to visit a “mohalla clinic” and a government school being developed by the AAP dispensation.
