Watch Live presser of CM KCR, Delhi CM Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann

Press Conference ends.

KCR thanks the journalists...

Can't the BJP government honour the supreme court order?

Karnataka people have taught a fitting lesson to such autocratic behaviour.

The gubernatorial offices are titular in authority, but they can not be allowed to stall democratically elected governments

What is the situation. Where are we leading the country to. What are these governors institutions.

Delhi has a popularly elected government. Thats an order of the Supreme court, which is not honoured by the Centre.

Question answer session begins

I thank the Chief Minister KCR for extending financial assistance to Punjab farmers who lost their lives.

Mann: Such type of functioning can not be tolerated. We are a multi-faceted country.

Today they called for a NITI Ayog meeting. But they are not implementing the last years decisions taken at the meetings.

The BJP is harassing all the non-BJP governments in States

Mann: We are waging a battle to protect the democracy in the country

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann begins to speak

This is a fight to save the democracy in the country

Kejriwal: If BJP government in the centre rules states by proxy, why were we elected by people

This is a dangerous situation for the democracy

If non-BJP government is formed, either they poach MLAs and topple governments or misuse the authority of governors to harass the democratically eleted governments,

It is as if Modi saying that whichever party you elect, I will not let them work, if they are a non-NBJP government.

Entire country should follow SC orders, but if the prime minister says he will not follow the apex court, where should the common man go this is an insult to the people of delhi.

On May 11 Supreme Court constitution bench of five judges upheld our argument and said Delhi government has authority. But on May 19, BJP government brought an ordinance to nullify it.

As a CM i can not even transfer education secretary or health secretary. we fought for eight years in the courts.

Kejriwal: Three months after we assumed power, the BJP government brought order to take all powers from the government.

Kejriwal: We discussed the issue with Mr KCR for a long time. Thanks to KCR for supporting Delhi people in this fight with the BJP. this is not just an issue related to Delhi people, but its an issue threatening the democracy

The ordinance is a threat and challenge to democracy. it can not be tolerated.

We are advising you to withdraw the ordinance without any loss of time as a friend and a democratic party

Karnataka has taught a lesson to undemocratic government. Please withdraw the ordinance.

ts worse than emergency. BJP is not honouring the supreme court judgement. it is not allowing popularly elected government to function.

KCR appeals to Prime Minsiter Modi to withdraw the ordinance on Delhi issue.

AAP is a popular government taking care of peole. Modi government is insulting the people,

I hope the BJP opens its eyes and takes corrective steps.

KCR likens the current situation to emergency situation and vows to support the AAP in the issue

KCR: Indira Gandhi had also done similar acts after the judgement by Allahabad court against Mrs Gandhi.

Despite the Supreme Court ruling that officials should work under the control of the elected AAP government. But instead of implementing the Apex Court order, the Centre had issued an ordinance.

KCR: But the BJP in the Centre is stiffling the AAP government by usurping powers

KCR: Aam Aadmi Party had formed the government in Delhi and won elections including the Delhi Municipal Corporation.

CM KCR accuses BJP of harassing the non-BJP governments in states

And the tiff between the AAP and the BJP with regard to the authority to transfer officials. The Supreme Court had recently upheld the authority of Delhi government to transfer officials, but the BJP government brought an ordinance nullifying the SC order and empowering the Lieutent Governor to transfer officials.

The presser assumes significance in the backdrop of the Opposition parties boycotting the inaugural of the new parliament building

The Joint Press conference of CMs KCR, Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann is to commence shortly.
