All “Good People” Should Come Together: Arvind Kejriwal

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday stressed the need for an alliance of “all good people” to fight the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after a meeting here with his Kerala counterpart, Pinarayi Vijayan. “There is an atmosphere of fear. The business community, industrialists, media people or commoners, everybody is afraid of the situation in this country, which is wrong,” the Delhi CM said.

Kejriwal, who called on Pinarayi at Kerala House, told reporters they discussed “a range of issues” at their breakfast meeting. “I feel that power is in the hands of wrong forces and they are getting an edge in the country. To fight this, all good people should come together,” he said when asked if this was the beginning of a new alliance between his Aam Aadmi Party and other political forces.

“Those who raise the voice of dissent against the Centre are being muzzled,” Kejriwal, with Pinarayi by his side, added. His remarks came just days after Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said they were ready for a coalition of political forces to fight the BJP.
