Extending support to the AAP, D Raja said CPI has been demanding complete statehood for Delhi as well as Puducherry.
The centre's ordinance on control of services in Delhi will be among the key issues that will come up for discussion at an upcoming meeting of opposition parties, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Wednesday after meeting CPI leader D Raja to garner support against the government's measure.
The Communist Party of India (CPI) leader extended support to the Aam Aadmi Party on the ordinance issue, and said, "It is not just about the Delhi government, it can happen to any other government."
Addressing a joint press conference with Mr Raja, Mr Kejriwal said, "The 'Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Ordinance, 2023' gives bureaucrats the power to overrule decisions made by ministers, and gives centre control over bodies like the Delhi Jal Board and Delhi Transport Corporation."
Extending support to the AAP, Mr Raja said CPI has been demanding complete statehood for Delhi as well as Puducherry.
