SC verdict on Delhi govt vs LG: How Congress spoke in multiple voices

The Congress spoke in multiple voices on the Supreme Court verdict on the CM-L-G tussle in Delhi. Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram termed it a “thumping victory” for democracy. He added that the verdict had important lessons for Puducherry as well. 

Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala was more circumspect. He welcomed the verdict, but sought to apportion the blame equally on the “egotistical battle between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal”. Congress party’s Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy said the verdict was “totally applicable” to Puducherry. Narayansamy is locked in a bitter turf battle with Lieutenant Governor
