'In 2014 PM Modi promised...': Arvind Kejriwal after LS passes Delhi Services Bill

Soon after Delhi Services Bill was cleared in Lok Sabha by voice vote, Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at the BJP for failing to keep its promises.

Taking to Twitter, Delhi CM wrote, 'Every time BJP promised to give full statehood to Delhi. In 2014, Modi himself said that on becoming the Prime Minister, he would give full statehood to Delhi. But today these people stabbed the people of Delhi in the back. Don't believe anything of Modi Ji from now on.

The Delhi services bill was passed after a nearly four-hour-long debate which was replied to by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Shah made it clear that the central government has the power to make laws on Union territories and Delhi, being a Union Territory, the Centre enjoys full rights to make rules also.

Launching a scathing attack on the opposition for joining hands against the central government's move to bring the bill, Shah predicted that once the bill is passed, the opposition alliance will collapse.

He alleged that the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government in Delhi has not been not functioning within rules and it is even not convening assembly sessions regularly.
