Arvind Kejriwal Gives PM Modi A “Mantra To Win Delhi”

Hours after the Delhi government’s budget has been passed by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Delhi’s Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal issued statements. While addressing Delhi’s Assembly, he gave PM Narendra Modi a ‘mantra to win Delhi’.

Kejriwal said, “If the prime minister wishes to win Delhi, he will have to win the hearts of the people of the city first. This is my mantra to him.”

Delhi CM’s Addressal to state assembly

During his address, he surprisingly addressed PM Modi as his “elder brother”. He also stated that he wishes to work in coordination with the PM. “The Delhi government wants to work and not fight. We are tired of fighting and it serves no one. We want to work together with the prime minister, we do not want any tussle,” he said.

He even expressed that Delhi would have seen 10 times more progress had there been no tussles between the Centre and the state government.  “You are the elder brother and I am the younger brother. I will reciprocate if you support me. If you want to win the heart of the little brother, love him,” he said.

Arvind Kejriwal against the procedures

According to Kejriwal., the practice of getting the Delhi government budget passed by the Centre government is contradictory to the basic structure of the Constitution and democracy. This provision will not stand the judicial trial for “even two minutes” added the CM.

“The Budget had to be presented today. The Centre stopped it. We replied to MHA’s query without making any changes to the Budget and they have approved it now. They wanted me to bow down. It’s their ego and nothing else,” he said.

Kejriwal also mentioned that objection from the Centre was a departure from tradition. Also, “It happened for the first time.”
“It is an attack on the Constitution. Even B R Ambedkar would not have thought of a situation where the central government would stop the presentation of a state government’s Budget,” Kejriwal said.

The story from Centre

According to the sources, MHA has already approved the Delhi government’s budget and it was communicated to AAP. They have accused the AAP Party of “deliberately making false statements with the sole purpose of misleading the people of Delhi and the media and distracting them from the failures of the AAP government”. They also alleged that “He has been saying that the Centre has blocked a state’s Budget. This is patently false. Delhi is a Union Territory and not a state and therefore it is fully a part and partial of the government of India. Moreover, the Budget has not been blocked,”
