Arvind Kejriwal’s move reverse assault on federalism: Arun Jaitley

He said Kejriwal’s decision “to put the Centre under police jurisdiction of the state government would be a constitutional monstrosity”.

Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley Wednesday termed Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government’s decision to probe Central government’s decision to revise gas pricing as reverse assault on federalism. “Ordinarily, when we perceive threats to federalism, it is suspected that encroachment of federal principles is by the Centre,” he said on his website and criticised Kejriwal’s decision saying that  “to put the Centre under police jurisdiction of the state government would be a constitutional monstrosity”.
