Mr Kejriwal’s rare outreach to the Congress comes in the middle of attempts to unite opposition parties against the BJP ahead of the 2024 national election.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief has been meeting with various leaders to gain enough support to try and defeat the Centre’s bill on the control of Delhi bureaucrats.
The bill will replace an ordinance passed last week to override a recent Supreme Court order that said the elected government in Delhi, not the Centre, has control over the transfer and appointments of bureaucrats.
The Congress had said it would consult with its regional leaders on whether to support AAP on the subject.
