Actor Prakash Raj, who
recently announced that he would contest the upcoming Lok
Sabha elections, met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal here
Thursday and discussed ways to address various issues.
The actor, who has been vocal about his views on the
current Bharatiya Janata Party-led government at the Centre,
met the chief minister at his official residence in the Civil
Lines.
Last week, Raj had said that he would be contesting
the upcoming general elections from the Bengaluru Central
constituency as an independent candidate.
"Met delhi CM @ArvindKejriwal thanked him and
@AamAadmiParty for the support in my political journey.
Discussed and requested to share various ways to address

(sic)," Raj tweeted after the meeting.
The Aam Aadmi Party, headed by Kejriwal, has also
extended support, saying all "good people" should come into
politics.
Raj has also been one of those seeking justice for his
friend and senior journalist Gauri Lankesh, who was shot
outside her residence in September, 2017.
