Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet Delhi chief minister- designate Arvind Kejriwal tomorrow at 10.30 am, where he is expected to receive an invitation for the latter's swearing-in ceremony at the Ramlila Maidan on February 14.
Kejriwal, who was unanimously elected as the leader of the legislative party yesterday, met Union Minister M.Venkaiah Naidu earlier in the day.
He will also meet Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and President Pranab Mukherjee today.
Kejriwal's party, AAP, made a clean sweep of the Delhi assembly polls yesterday, winning 67 of the 70 seats on offer and decimated rivals BJP and Congress.
Kejriwal yesterday met Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung at the latter's official residence and staked a claim to form the government in the national capital.
Jung will now send the report regarding the matter to President Pranab Mukherjee, clearing the way for Kejriwal to go ahead with plans for government formation.
