प्रिय केजरीवाल जी,
आपने हमारे आग्रह पर हमें समय दिया। धन्यवाद।
BJP पार्टी, जिनका MCD व केन्द्र में शासन है, बहुत अच्छा कि उनको भी बुलाया।
सकारात्मक राजनीति की ज़रूरत है। मैं उम्मीद करता हूँ कि BJP भी शामिल होगी। मंगलवार १२ बजे हम समाधान के सुझाव सहित मिलेंगे। pic.twitter.com/gDWFOETCPf

The Delhi Chief Minister has written to Maken and Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari, inviting them for the meeting at his residence on Tuesday, saying: “We should rise above politics and come together to find a solution to the problems that have risen due to sealing.”
Meanwhile, the Delhi BJP said Manoj Tiwari was abroad as part of a delegation accompanying President Ram Nath Kovind and will be back by 15 March.
An office-bearer of the party said a decision on Kejriwal’s invitation will be taken after consultation with Tiwari.
