NEW DELHI: After much prevarication, the Congress on Sunday decided to support Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over the Narendra Modi government’s ordinance on the control of services in Delhi by declaring that it will oppose a bill whenever it is introduced in Parliament. However, the stand seems to be more about optics than about gaining much politically in concrete terms.
Congress general secretary in-charge of organisation KC Venugopal reportedly said the party is consistently opposing the attempts of the Union government to sabotage federalism. “We are consistently opposing the attitude of the central government to run the opposition states through the governors. Our stand is very clear, we are not going to support the Delhi ordinance," he said.
