"Appeal To BJP MPs": Raghav Chadha's "Mahabharat" Pitch On Ordinance | Read

Congress backing under its belt, Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party today appealed to all parties to stand with them and oppose the Centre on a bill regarding Delhi bureaucrats that is expected to come up in the monsoon session of parliament. Asked if it was precipitate of them to pressurize Congress on spelling out its stand, AAP's Raghav Chadha questioned why should any party with national interest in mind, should hang back on opposing what is clearly an anti-national bill. Asked about the response from Naveen Patnaik's Biju Janata Dal and YS Jaganmohan Reddy's YSR Congress, he said he can only appeal to them to oppose the bill in parliament. "It will go down in history who supports it and who opposes it. Through your channel, I'd like to appeal to every member of parliament, of the BJP also, that this bill is against democracy, it is violative of India's constitution, of India's federal structure - oppose it when it comes and support us," Mr Chadha told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
