    Why does Kejriwal government want statehood?

    Why does Kejriwal government want statehood?
    Credits:
  • Delhi is a Union Territory (directly ruled by Central government), but also has an elected legislative assembly which makes it unique.

    It has a Chief Minister (elected) to run the administration, however the Lieutenant Governor (appointed) acts as the state head.

    Police, control of land and bureaucracy are under the Centre's control.

    This issue has become problematic since Kejriwal and Jung locked horns.

  • Do you know?

    Not the first time Delhi has sought statehood

  • The issue of statehood for Delhi was first raised in 1973. In 2003, BJP too had written to LK Advani regarding the issue; Sheila Dikshit too had brought it up in 2013.

    Flip side to full statehood

    Flip side to full statehood
  • If the status of Statehood is achieved, Delhi will have to start paying for police and other administrative services that are currently paid for by the Centre.

    Moreover, full statehood would entail bifurcation of the state and the central government will not allow a state to control its offices, establishments, cantonments and services.

    VAT, property tax, land rents and vehicle taxes will rise too.

    AAP calls for referendum in Delhi

    AAP calls for referendum in Delhi
  • On the issue of Delhi's full statehood, CM Kejriwal has asked for a report to weigh the options for a referendum.

    Full-statehood was a key electoral promise made by the AAP, one which it is vociferously pushing ahead.

    However, experts contend that in order to do so an amendment will be needed.

  • Historical

    No referendum has been ever held in India

  • If this referendum falls through, it will be the first in Indian history. In 1967, an opinion poll was held in Goa deciding on a merger with Maharashtra. Goans decided against a merger.

    Is a referendum really possible?

    Is a referendum really possible?
  • Ajay Maken, Congress' Delhi chief contended that Kejriwal was fooling people because Constitution will need to be amended for Delhi's statehood and only the parliament had that power.

    Lok Sabha secretary-general PDT Achary supported Maken and called the idea unconstitutional and 'dangerous'.

    Both Congress and BJP accused the AAP for trying to divert focus from their government's failures by bringing up the referendum plan.

    AAP condemned both BJP and Congress for taking a "U turn" and for having manoeuvred the statehood topic as per their "political convenience".
