NEW DELHI: Former Delhi chief Minister and Congress state chief Sheila Dikshit on Sunday attacked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on his call for an indefinite hunger strike for full statehood of Capital. The former CM questioned the timing of the fast saying that only a Parliament can change the status of Delhi in the Constitution.

Former CM said, "Only a Parliament session can change the constitution for Delhi to be accorded full statehood and no parliament session will be held now, so why is he doing this? I don't understand.”
AAP chief has announced that he will sit on an indefinite fast from March 1, seeking full statehood for Delhi. His decision comes at a time when the Election Commission is likely to announce the schedule for upcoming election.

Kejriwal said in the House, "I will sit on an indefinite hunger strike from March 1 to organise people for the full statehood demand. Even if we die in this movement, we will gladly do so but this 'aar-paar ki ladai' will continue and Delhi will get full statehood,"
BJP hit back at Kejriwal saying that he claims to be a Constitutional authority and is going to sit on a fast which is heard off. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy said, "He should resign and then should fast. If as a CM he fasts, I think Delhi government should be dissolved and the President`s Rule should be imposed.”
