Matter of markets was not even on the meeting agenda: sourcesThe Delhi government and Raj Niwas were at loggerheads yet again on Saturday over the issue of reopening city markets.

Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said that if the L-G had indeed refused to sanction the opening of city markets, Mr. Kejriwal should have come forward and said it himself. “The Aam Aadmi Party should stop misleading traders on the Unlock decision taken by the Delhi government.
