As it completed an eventful 100 days in office, AAP government mounted a blistering attack on Modi dispensation accusing it of making a "U-turn" on granting full statehood to Delhi and indicated tabling a resolution to reject the "unconstitutional" notification giving absolute powers to the Lt Governor. In further hardening of its position, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said AAP government will not compromise on the issue and alleged that the Centre was trying run Delhi "by hook or by crook" and violating the "federal structure". The party legislators went into a huddle with the top leadership at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence ahead of the two-day 'emergency' session of the Delhi Assembly starting Tuesday. The MLAs slammed the Centre's "infringement" on their rights, setting the tone for the Assembly session. The party has a strength of 67 in a House of 70. Sources said there will be an "open" Cabinet meeting at a public event tomorrow on the occasion of 100 days of AAP government, where the full statehood issue is likely to be discussed. Though the MLAs refused to come on record on whether the party would move a resolution against the Home Ministry's notification, the sources said such a step was "very likely". "Modiji himself said and they put it in their manifesto to give Delhi a full statehood. Now, when the issue has come up, let alone our right, or talking about it, they are trying to bully us. Delhi government will not be mum on the issue," Sisodia alleged. The Deputy Chief Minister said he has "hope" from the upcoming session as the "Assembly is the mother of government and it is supreme and most empowered body."
