Arvind Kejriwal changes tone against PM Narendra Modi

New Delhi : After meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, first encounter since the general elections, CM Arvind Kejriwal promised to work with Central government for the development of the national capital.

His tone goes opposite to what he was using during the campaigns of the Lok Sabha Elections which concluded a couple of days back.

"Met Shri Narendra Modi and congratulated him for Lok Sabha victory," he said. Mr Kejriwal also said he had invited the Prime Minister to visit a "Mohalla Clinic" - the primary medical centres part of AAP's highly-praised healthcare policy.

"Ayushman Bharat (the centre's medical insurance scheme) was briefly discussed. Informed honourable PM that Delhi government Delhi Health scheme is much bigger and wider in scope. However, assured him to examine if Ayushman Bharat scheme could also be integrated into our scheme," he tweeted.

The 50-year-old leader and Aam Aadmi Party were among the harshest opponents of the Prime Minister and the BJP with their animosity peaking during the Lok Sabha elections that ended last month.

However, the BJP crushed AAP in Delhi winning all seven of the parliamentary seats in the capital.
