Accusing the Modi government of creating obstacles for his government, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday compared the Centre-Delhi relationship to the “India and Pakistan situation.”

The ongoing war between the Centre and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government remained the central topic of the first edition of ‘Talk to AK’, an interactive session where Mr. Kejriwal answered questions asked by people from all over the country.

Accompanied by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and music director Vishal Dadlani, an AAP member who acted as the moderator, Mr. Kejriwal started the session by describing the problems faced by his government. “At present, the Centre and the Delhi government are like India and Pakistan.”

Asked why he was against the Modi government and if he was playing the victim card, he replied that Delhi is the “victim.” “Our 14 Bills, which include the Janlokpal Bill and no detention policy, are pending with the Centre. Eleven of our efficient officials were transferred without consulting us. People are suffering because of their [BJP] revenge.”
