Questioning the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) stand on full statehood for the national Capital, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Delhi Convenor Gopal Rai on Wednesday said the BJP will regret fooling the people and disrupting the Delhi Government from carrying out developmental work.
Rai also said the BJP leaders are giving “strange statements” to avoid making their stand clear since the AAP has announced its campaign on the issue of full statehood.
On Monday, the AAP had announced to launch a campaign to demand full statehood for Delhi, saying it has decided to go to the people’s court as it “did not get justice” from the Supreme Court.
“Why is the BJP are scared of making its stand clear on statehood for Delhi? It is running scared of telling people its stand on the full statehood for Delhi,” AAP leader Gopal said.
He said that the development of the city would be very fast if the government would have full power. “The Lieutenant Governor would be ours after the capital will be given full statehood,” he said.
The AAP dispensation has been unhappy over the Supreme Court decision to refer the contentious issue of control of services in the National Capital Territory between the Delhi government and the Centre to a larger bench.
