AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal will seek an appointment to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the power crisis which has gripped the national capital, a party leader said Wednesday.

"The senior party leaders met Tuesday and have decided to meet the PM to talk about the power outages in Delhi. A letter seeking an appointment will be sent to the Prime Minister's Office soon," the leader told IANS.

Earlier, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) spokesperson Dilip. K. Pandey had tweeted, "The BJP has woken up to the power crisis after 10 days and further asked for 10 days time to deal with the power situation. So, for the public of Delhi, AAP will meet the prime minister."
