BJP planning to turn Delhi into a UT, will junk elections: Kejriwal in House

Hindustan Times  

Invoking a diverse span of themes such as democracy, Constitution, alleged misuse of central agencies and Bollywood, Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party in a 30-minute-long speech in the Delhi assembly on Tuesday, and alleged that the central government was planning to convert Delhi into a full Union Territory and eliminate elections in its bid to murder ”Jantantra”. Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal “The BJP leaders are going around threatening the people that they will get legislative assembly elections cancelled too by making Delhi a full Union Territory from a UT with an elected House,” he said on the second and the last day of the Delhi assembly’s session. Rephrasing an iconic dialogue from Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor-starrer Deewar, Kejriwal said, “Jab BJP wale Dilli ke logon ko darate hain ki humare paas ED hai CBI hai, Delhi Police hai, paisa hai, har district mein bade bade office hain, Dilli ki 2 crore janta inse kehti hai – Hamare paas hamara beta Kejriwal hai. Leader of the opposition in Delhi assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said Kejriwal’s statement was “anti-national”.
