Addressing a press conference on Thursday, Sisodia said the BJP is indulging in negative politics and alleged that the saffron party’s model is that of “theft and cheating”.
Delhi’s deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Thursday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is insecure about the growth of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Centre brought the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2021 to stop the spread of his popularity and governance model across the country.

Addressing a press conference today, Sisodia alleged that the BJP is indulging in negative politics and the saffron party’s model is that of “theft and cheating”.
“PM Modi is insecure about the rise of Kejriwal. Across India, the demand for Kejriwal’s model of governance is increasing, which can be seen in the recent panchayat and municipality elections that took place in several BJP-ruled states in the country. Kejriwal has a vision of development which is now posing a challenge to the BJP. But Kejriwal is a fighter. He will fight back,” he said.
According to the bill, “government” in the national capital would mean the “Lieutenant Governor” (L-G) in the context of any decision taken by the administration. It also states that all executive actions taken by the Cabinet or individually by the ministers will have to go through the L-G.
Sisodia alleged the Centre is also stopping the government’s doorstep delivery of ration scheme. He likened the Prime Minister to the father of the nation.
On Wednesday night after the Bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha, Kejriwal took to Twitter and said: “RS passes GNCTD amendment Bill. Sad day for Indian democracy. We will continue our struggle to restore power back to people. Whatever be the obstacles, we will continue doing good work. Work will neither stop nor slow down.”
