DL-KEJRIWAL-PRAKASH(DES15)

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

issues which his team has commendably done...#bengalurucentral

#citizensvoice in parliament #justasking in parliament too

(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.
