NEW DELHI, Jun. 11, 2023 (TBINN)
Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal today hit out at the Centre over its Ordinance on control of services in the National Capital, saying Delhi is the first to be attacked and similar ordinances will also be brought for other states.
Addressing Aam Aadmi Party’s Maha Rally at Ramlila Maidan, the party’s national convener said Centre’s Ordinance was an insult to the people of city. The Ordinance says that there will be no democracy in Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal alleged.
There will be dictatorship in Delhi and the L.G. (Lieutenant Governor) is supreme. People can vote for whoever they want, but the Centre will run Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal said. I have been travelling across the country and I want to assure the people of Delhi that they are not alone, 140 crore people of India are with them, he assured.
Delhi is the first city to be attacked and they will bring such ordinances for Rajasthan and other states too, A.A.P. leader claimed.
On the arrests of A.A.P. leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain, Arvind Kejriwal said they were arrested in order to stop works in the National Capital. But we have have 100 Sisodias and 100 Jains. They will continue the good work, Delhi’s Chief Minister maintained.
While former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia was arrested in February, 2023 over alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped liquor policy for 2021-22, Satyender Jain was arrested in May last year in a money laundering case.
I want to ask that P.M. (Narendra Modi) has been in power as Gujarat’s chief minister and then as Prime Minister for long and Arvind Kejriwal has been in power for eight years, who has done more work for people, Arvind questioned.
The event was also attended by Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal, who stressed on opposition unity to fight the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
