In Setback For AAP, Naveen Patnaik's BJD To Back Centre On Delhi Services Bill | Read
The Aam Aadmi Party today suffered a huge setback in its fight against the Delhi services bill as Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik-led Biju Janata Dal's support to the Centre has assured the bill will comfortably sail through the half-way mark in the Parliament. Sources said the BJD will also oppose the no-confidence motion moved by opposition bloc INDIA against the BJP-led Centre. The decision of Odisha's ruling party, which has nine MPs in Rajya Sabha, will help the government cross the halfway mark in the upper house, where the BJP-led NDA does not have full majority on its own.
