The Congress party has declared that it will oppose the Central government’s ordinance on service regulation in Delhi. They believe that any attempt by the central government to undermine federalism in the country should be resisted. Congress general secretary KC Venugopal stated clearly that the party will reject any decision by the Centre to interfere in states governed by opposition parties through governors. This decision by Congress has been welcomed by the Aam Aadmi Party, who sees it as a positive development.
KC Venugopal, Congress General Secretary, said, “We have consistently opposed the Central Government’s attempts to undermine federalism. We have continuously opposed the central government’s approach of governing states ruled by the opposition through governors. Our position is clear that we will not support the Delhi ordinance.”
With Congress’s decision, it is certain that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will participate in the second opposition meeting, which will begin on Monday in Bengaluru. Previously, AAP had demanded that Congress clarify its stance on the Delhi ordinance before the next opposition party conference. AAP leader Raghav Chadha praised Congress for taking a clear stand on the ordinance and considered it a positive development.
