Delhi Lt Governor Anil Baijal today called on Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
The meeting was described as a "courtesy call" by Raj Niwas officials but it is believed the two discussed financial matters pertaining to the national capital.
The AAP government has been accusing the Centre of "depriving" it in terms of its share in Central taxes, which it says has been stagnant since 2001-02.
Incidentally, the Delhi Budget is expected to be tabled in the first week of March.
The Delhi government also claims that as per the recommendations of the 14th Finance Commission, the cash-strapped MCDs should get around Rs 3,500 crore from the Centre.
Earlier this month, Baijal, who had taken over as LG on December 31 last year, had called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
