Assuring to work without any political divide between AAP-led Delhi and the BJP government at the centre, Kejriwal sought help from the ministry over the issue of squatter colonies.

"On the issue of unauthorised colonies, we will need the union government's help as well as the Delhi Development Authority and the Municipal Cooperation of Delhi.
