Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is all set to launch “Metro campaign” from Sunday for full Delhi Statehood.

AAP Delhi convener Gopal Rai said the Mahila Morcha will launch the campaign at Rajiv Chowk Metro Station. “Sixteen teams, comprising four women in each, will be at all eight gates of the station. These workers will distribute the letters on full Statehood to passengers,” said Rai, referring to the AAP’s Statehood campaign for general elections.

Accusing his opponent, Delhi BJP unit president Manoj Tiwari, of allegedly lying about full Statehood, Rai said, “Tiwari used apex institution’s name for misguiding the people on Twitter in “#Twitterchaupal.”

Referring to Tiwari’s recent statement on Supreme Court’s verdict about full Statehood, Rai questioned the BJP for giving false and misleading statements. “It could only be done by amendment of the Constitution in Parliament”, added Rai quoting the verdict of the court. Challenging BJP on full Statehood, Rai said the AAP will not allow the BJP to mislead Delhiites.

Taking a jibe on Tiwari’s statement on full Statehood, the AAP leader said that it is not possible that a Member of Parliament (MP) does not know the process of how Delhi will attain Statehood, particularly when his own party kept promising it to the people of Delhi for decades.

Citing the #Twitterchaupal, a virtual interaction with masses by the BJP leader two days before, Rai questioned Tiwari to show which case regarding full Statehood for Delhi was filed in the Supreme Court and when? “Who filed the case and what was the Supreme Court judgement in the Delhi Statehood case? He should put that judgement in public domain, Rai demanded.
