Furthermore, he added that if full statehood is granted to the national capital then London, Paris and Singapore will have no comparison to Delhi.

"How will this government run? Why is the central government treating the Delhi government in this manner? There is only one way left now. Protest. The entire Delhi will have to fight to gain the full statehood. If Delhi gets the full statehood, the women in the capital will get safety. The policies will be better. We will make Delhi shine with cleanliness so much so that there will be no comparison of London, Paris and Singapore to Delhi. People will be proud of it".
