Arvind Kejriwal says ‘Supreme Court verdict on Delhi government vs Centre is unconstitutional and undemocratic’  

Arvind Kejriwal.

Soon after the Supreme Court, on Thursday, announced its verdict on regulations of services in the national capital pertaining to the power tussle between the Delhi government and the lieutenant governor, Anil Baijal, the chief minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, called it as “against the Constitution” and “against democracy”. Kejriwal also termed the verdict as an “injustice to the people of Delhi”.

He said his government will consider taking any legal route against the Supreme Court judgment.

In a news briefing, Kejriwal said, “We have relentlessly fought with the LG and bureaucrats to ensure that files are cleared. How will Delhi function like this? If we must sit on a dharna for getting files cleared, then how do we run Delhi?”

Kejriwal further stated the BJP-led central government is creating hurdles in the functioning of his Aam Aadmi Party government in the capital.
