“Day or Night” Adhir Chowdhury ‘surprised’ as HM Shah recalls JL Nehru’s take on Delhi’s statehood

Aug 03, 2023

Congress’ Adhir Chowdhury on Aug 03 sarcastically ‘thanked’ HM Shah for praising Jawaharlal Nehru’s take on Delhi’s statehood. Pulling HM Shah’s leg, the Congressman said that he couldn’t believe whether it was “day or night”. Adhir Chowdhury also slammed the BJP strongman, stating that if he had walked on Nehru’s path, the country wouldn’t have witnessed Manipur, Haryana. The Government of NCT of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, sought to replace the ordinance brought by the Centre in May which excluded ‘services’ from the legislative competence of the Delhi Legislative Assembly. The ordinance was brought days after the Supreme Court judgement on the control of services in Delhi.
