AAP leader and Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj on Wednesday warned the Biju Janata Dal (JDU) and YSRCP, who have endorsed the Centre on the Bill replacing the Ordinance for the control of Services in the national capital, that the BJP wouldn’t miss out on a chance to overthrow governments in states they currently rule.
While the YSRCP, led by Jaganmohan Raddy, is in charge in Andhra Pradesh, the BJD, under Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, is in charge in Odisha. Bharadwaj said, “Some parties in the Opposition, including the BJD and YSRCP, among others, are aiding the BJP in Parliament,” in an interview with ANI on Wednesday. These parties might be motivated by their own political objectives. But the BJP won’t think twice to overthrow state governments whenever they see an opportunity to do so.
As the Lok Sabha reconvenes on Wednesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will move The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023 for consideration and passage.
Earlier, on Tuesday, Biju Janata Dal MP Sasmit Patra told that the party will support the government on the Delhi Services Bill.
The BJD’s official stand came as a blow to the united Opposition, which has been trying to cobble up a majority to defeat the Bill in the Rajya Sabha.
