Calling his meeting with the new Lieutenant-Governor, Anil Baijal, cordial, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said he hoped Baijal’s experience of having worked in several departments of the Delhi government would be helpful. Sisodia met Baijal at Raj Bhavan on Thursday. “The meeting was a courtesy call. He shared his experiences and we spoke about his stint in different departments of the Delhi government.
