'PM Modi won't be able to attend Kejriwal's swearing-in ceremony'

New Delhi: Delhi's Chief Minister-designate Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discussed a range of issues related to the national capital including granting full
statehood.

Kejriwal, who was accompanied by senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia, reached the PM's residence around 10:30 AM and the meeting lasted for around 15 minutes.

"Arvind told the Prime Minister that both the Centre and the state government enjoy strong majority, therefore, it is a golden opportunity for both to work together to make Delhi a better city," Sisodia told reporters after the meeting.

He added that the AAP Chief also raised the issue of full statehood with the Prime Minister.

Kejirwal also invited Modi to his oath-taking ceremony at the Ramlila Grounds on February 14. However, the Prime Minister expressed his inability as he would be out of the city on that day.
