The Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party government has opposed this Bill from the beginning saying it is against the Constitution and the spirit of the Union. Alleging that this Bill is being brought to curtail the rights of the democratically elected government, the opposition has been gathering support for the defeat of the Bill in the Rajya Sabha for a few days. Many opposition parties including Congress have already announced that they will support AAP in this regard.
Meanwhile, the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has announced its support to the Center on the Delhi Ordinance Bill. BJD national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Sasmit Patra told the media that the Supreme Court has ruled that Parliament has the right to make laws regarding Delhi. He said that they are also opposing the motion of no confidence brought by the Opposition against the government. He said that his party has issued a three-line whip to Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha MPs asking all the MPs to attend the meeting during the discussion on these issues. (Hydnow)
