Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today he was ready to work with the opposition and sought help of Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta's help in getting approval of the Bills passed by the Assembly, which are pending with the Centre for several months.
"There are few bills, where rule was followed but still they are pending with them (Centre). You please get these bills from them," Kejriwal told the Opposition leader in Assembly here.
Kejriwal said that the city government and the Opposition will show 'cooperative federalism' in the national capital.
Kejriwal said he was ready to work with the Opposition as they are integral part of the assembly.
"I want to put a proposal before the House. I want to work with the opposition as they are integral part of the assembly. I would request the opposition to tell the mistakes of government and we will correct it.
"In return, they must get the bills cleared, which are pending with the Central government. Lets divide work," the Chief Minister said while taking a part in discussion over Budget.
He also cited few technical issues with the Bills and said if Central government is not clearing it then they must return it.
"We will get it done but you get our work done by Central government. As per the act we could have taken the approval of Centre after passing the bill in the assembly," he said.
The Chief Minister also targeted the Centre for making the Anti Corruption Branch of Delhi government dysfunctional.
He claimed his government had ended the corruption in 49-day rule because ACB was with us. Currently ACB is lying defunct. You please ask them to give our ACB back. Ask DDA to give us land and Central government to give fund for municipal corporations.
"You can shake hand with ISI, Nawaz Sharif then what is the problem in making Delhi government your friend," Kejriwal said in the assembly while targeting the Central government for JIT visit to Pathankot
Gupta asked Kejriwal to follow constitution as in most of the cases prior approval of Central government was not taken.
