All Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MPs, MLAs and ministers will donate their one-month salary for the relief work in flood-ravaged Kerala, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said today, and also urged the city government employees to contribute at least one-day salary for the cause.

The Chief Minister, who yesterday announced Rs 10 crore relief for the state, said that sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) offices will act as collection centres for clothes, blankets etc.

Kejriwal also assured the resident commissioner of Kerala that his government will provide any further help needed by the state.

"Held a meeting with Resident Commissioner of Kerala to find out requirements. Delhi government will send water and dry food. All SDM offices will act as collection centres for clothes, bedsheets and blankets," he said.

In a tweet, Kejriwal today said, "All AAP MLAs, MPs and ministers (are) donating one month salary for Kerala."
