No proposal to give Delhi full Statehood

PTI

The Centre on Tuesday said it was not considering any proposal to grant full statehood to the national capital, a key demand of the AAP Government.

“There is no proposal with the government for granting full Statehood to Delhi,” Minister of State for Home Affairs Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary said, replying to a question in the lok Sabha.

Both the BJP and the AAP have been circling around the same proposal noting that it will help ensure proper coordination between various agencies.
