A reporter questioned the top leaders regarding the Swati Maliwal issue. When queried about the matter, CM Kejriwal was seen maintaining a stoic silence, while Akhilesh Yadav dismissed the topic, stressing the need to focus on more pressing issues at hand.


Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday (May 16) paid a visit to Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's party office in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. However, his visit has sparked speculation amidst ongoing political collaborations.

During the meeting, both leaders exchanged pleasantries in what appeared to be a warm atmosphere. CM Kejriwal was accompanied by AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, signalling a strategic engagement between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Samajwadi Party, as they join forces in the INDIA bloc to challenge the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the current political landscape.
