Delhi belongs to all Indians, including the patriotic Arunachalees who greet each other with Jai Hind, and not to BJP leader Narendra Modi alone, said Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki.
"I'm a chief minister like him (Modi is Chief Minister of Gujarat) and, he has no right to threaten another chief minister who is no way less to him.
His threat publicly - 'Who would save me in Delhi after May 16?' - is undemocratic and unethical," Tuki said at a road rally in front of the Takar Complex here on Saturday.
"I shall go to Delhi on May 17 and see what can he do?" Tuki challenged, adding that opposition political parties have been encouraging infighting among the masses through their divisive mindsets.
Toeing the 'Power to People' policy of the state government, municipality would be made fully functional to redress all problems confronting the Capital Complex, Tuki promised.
The four-lane project, bifurcation roads to divert traffic to ease congestion and sky walks have been sanctioned to remove communication snags to change the face of the state capital, Tuki informed.
