Delhi Govt Vs LG: Nitish Kumar extends support to Arvind Kejriwal against Centre’s ordinance

Nitish Kumar, Bihar CM and the leader of the Janata Dal (United) has been meeting with Opposition leaders to forge a united front against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Shortly after the meeting, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav briefed the media. Speaking on the subject, Bihar CM said, “How can powers given to an elected government be taken away? It’s against the Constitution. We stand with Arvind Kejriwal.”

Bihar’s chief minister, who is working to unite opposition forces against the BJP-led government at the Centre, stated, “Will hold meetings in the future as well, we are trying to bring together all opposition parties in the country.”

Stand with the people of Delhi: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar

Speaking to the media about the Centre bringing an ordinance to overturn a Supreme Court decision in favor of Delhi, Nitish remarked that he stands with the people of the national capital.

On the other hand, Kejriwal said, “Today, in a meeting with Nitish Ji, he said that he stands with the people of Delhi, on the issue of the Centre bringing an ordinance negating SC order in favor of Delhi.”

“In case, the Centre brings this ordinance as a bill, if all non-BJP parties come together it can be defeated in Rajya Sabha. If such a thing happens, it can send a message that the BJP government will be out in 2024,” CM Kejriwal stated.

Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav attacked the BJP government, saying, “BJP is troubling the non-BJP governments. The central government is doing an injustice to Arvind Kejriwal. We stand with them. Discrimination is not fair. We will not let this happen,” Tejashwi said.

The Union government issued an ordinance on Friday to notify rules for the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) addressing ‘transfer posting, vigilance, and other incidental matters’.
