Slamming the Centre for allegedly exploiting the national capital Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said that the Lok Sabha elections in Delhi will be a mandate for full statehood
While addressing a press conference, Kejriwal said that the polls are very crucial for the people of Delhi. So far people had been voting for electing the PM. But this time they will be voting for statehood. In that sense this election is very important
AAP supremo also alleged for bias against Delhi. He said, the Centre spends only Rs 325 crore on Delhi while Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh get Rs 26,000 crore and Rs 1.5 lakh crore, respectively.
Kejriwal said, Ambedkar had drafted the Constitution and had envisaged equal value of the vote. Been 70 years, people of Delhi are being exploited relentlessly. Delhi’s share of IT is only second to Mumbai.
Asking the BJP to come clean on the statehood issue, Kejriwal said: “Tiwari has said that he is not in favour of granting statehood. Modi had promised statehood. It amounts to cheating. They should come clean.”
