Preparations are underway for the Opposition meeting in Patna to be held on June 23. However, a day before the meeting, Opposition unity already seems to be under stress as AAP has made it clear that it may walk out of the meeting if Congress doesn’t support it on the ordinance issue. Earlier, AAP convenor and Delhi Chief Minister had asked parties to discuss the ordinance issue in the meeting. Kejriwal had also met a number of leaders including Uddhav Thackeray in Maharashtra, Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal, CM KCR in Telangana, and Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow to garner support on the ordinance issue. The Centre on May 19 had brought an ordinance notifying rules for GNCTD regarding “transfer posting, vigilance and other incidental matters.” The ordinance led to a fresh row between AAP and Centre with AAP saying that the Centre through Delhi LG did not want an elected government to function.
