Now referendum on Delhi statehood: Kejriwal

Delhi will soon have a referendum on obtaining full statehood, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Friday.

"After UK referendum, Delhi will soon have a referendum on full statehood," the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader tweeted.

Kejriwal provided no details, and it was not clear who will conduct such a referendum in the national capital.

The AAP leader has repeatedly demanded that Delhi should become a full-fledged state. Presently, the powers of the Delhi government are limited as key subjects in the city are controlled by the central government.
