Congress will be asked to clear stand on ordinance: Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed hope on Tuesday that the Congress will be asked by other parties to clarify its stand on the Centre’s ordinance on the control of services in the national capital at the June 23 meeting of non-BJP parties in Patna.
The June 23 meeting of opposition parties, called by Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal (United) leader Nitish Kumar, will see anti-BJP players chalk out a strategy for the Lok Sabha polls.
At a press conference here, Kejriwal, who is also the AAP national convener, said he would explain to the other leaders in the meeting how such an ordinance could be brought for even full-fledged states.
“I will take the Constitution with me and explain to them that the ordinance is not only for Delhi but can be brought in for full states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, and West Bengal. Such an ordinance can be brought on subjects like education, and electricity that are on the concurrent list,” he asserted.
“I hope the parties will ask the Congress to clear its stand on the issue.
