BJD doesn’t support BJP, supports Parliament’s power to enact the Delhi Services Bill: Pinaki Misra

New Delhi: BJD Parliamentary Party leader Pinaki Misra today clarified that the Odisha ruling party is not supporting the BJP but it is supporting the power of the Parliament to enact the Delhi Services Bill.

While addressing the Lower House of the Parliament during discussions on the Delhi Services bill today, the Puri MP said, “We are equidistant from the BJP and the Congress. The reason we supported this bill, is because we have studied the Constitution which gives the Parliament the power to enact a law. We continue to fight the BJP and the Congress in our State.”

“Article 239AA gives Delhi a peculiar and special position in our polity as Parliament has the power to enact the law. Such a law cannot be brought with regard to Odisha, Rajasthan or West Bengal as the Constitution does not give such powers to the Centre,” he added.
