The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday said that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is an 'anarchist' and against the Constitution, adding that the latter must understand that powers granted to the national capital are different from rest of the states.
"The problem with Arvind Kejriwal is that being an anarchist, he is against the Constitution. There is a Constitution under which there are certain powers for Delhi state which are different from rest of the states. He must understand those powers, it cannot be done the way he wishes to do. There is a platform to discuss Constitutional matters," BJP leader Siddharth Nath Singh told media persons here.
Kejriwal yesterday attacked Prime Minister Modi over the brutal Anand Parbat stabbing of a 19-year-old girl, and said the law and order situation in the national capital has deteriorated drastically in the recent past.
"Delhi Police is under the Centre. The Prime Minister should either act or transfer Delhi Police's command to the Delhi Government," he had said.
