Delhi Services Bill: 'Power meant to work for people, not to seize their rights,' says Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal
Arvind Kejriwal criticized the stance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, asserting that the granted power should be utilized for public service, not the deprivation of rights. As reported by TOI, Delhi CM Kejriwal accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of ignoring the Supreme Court's directive and pointed to his electoral victories as evidence of public support for his work. He alleged that the BJP was obstructing developmental efforts to hinder his progress.
Kejriwal emphasized that the authority granted should be used to benefit the people, rather than infringe upon their rights.
