​New Delhi: The Delhi unit of the BJP on Thursday welcomed the Supreme Court judgement and said it removes ambiguities in the powers of the Delhi government.
There should no scope for "confusion or conflict" and the AAP government should humbly accept the Supreme Court judgement, Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta said.
"We welcome the Supreme Court decision removing ambiguities in the powers of the Delhi government. After this verdict, there shouldn't be any scope for confusion or conflict. The Delhi govt should humbly accept it and govern the capital as it was being done before they had come to power," Vijender Gupta said on Twitter.
