Keeping a date with history, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe on Wednesday visited the Sabarmati Ashram soon after the latter's arrival here on a two-day visit. The two leaders and Japan's First Lady Akie Abe paid floral tributes to a portrait and a bust of Mahatma Gandhi. Modi took the visiting dignitaries on a tour of the Ashram as the trio posed for pictures, including one in front of a charkha. After his return to India from South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi set up his first ashram at Kochrab in Ahmedabad in May 1915 but then shifted it to the banks of the Sabarmati river in June 1917.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, along with his cabinet colleagues, visited Lt. Governor Anil Baijal on Monday and decided to stay in his office until their demands were accepted. The Raj Niwas called it a "protest without reason". Kejriwal wanted Baijal to issue a direction to IAS officers to end their "strike" and also sought action against the officers, who have struck work for "four months". He was also demanding approval to the proposal for doorstep delivery of ration. "LG refuses to take action. LG is under constitutional duty to act. Left with no option, we have politely told the LG that we will not leave till he acts on all points. We have come out of his chamber and sitting in his waiting room," Kejriwal said in a tweet. Calling it an "unprecedented move", the LG's office said the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister, along with two ministers, "remained defiant and continued to pressurise that the officers must be immediately summoned to Raj Niwas and the so-called 'agitation' of officers be called off, and sought that immediate approval to proposal for doorstep delivery of rations be given".

Following his meeting with Lalu Prasad, Gehlot tweeted a picture with him, saying: "Visited Sh Lalu Prasad Yadav ji at his residence in #Patna, #Bihar... I wish him a speedy recovery." Gehlot is in Patna to attend 100th birth anniversary of former Bihar Chief Minister, Late Satyendra Narayan Sinha.
