Aam Aadmi Party supremo dials Akhilesh to discuss post-results strategy

DELHI chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal talked to Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav over the phone on Tuesday (21) to discuss the strategy to be followed after the announcement of the Lok Sabha poll results on Thursday (23).

Senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh told reporters here that the two leaders held talks over the phone.


Singh also met Yadav in Lucknow and discussed the political situation prevailing in the country.

He said Kejriwal and Yadav talked about the strategy to be followed after the announcement of the poll results.

Singh added that their priority was to stop the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from forming the government.

On May 17, Andhra Pradesh state chief minister and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N Chandrababu Naidu had paid a “courtesy visit” to Kejriwal.

The results of the just-concluded, seven-phased Lok Sabha (lower house of the Indian parliament) polls will be announced on May 23.
