"Inko kya Britain ka nashaa chad gaya hai? Ye desh samvidhaan se chalta hai," MoS Home Kiren Rijiju on Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's tweet. Is he high on Britain? This country runs on the Constitution."

After Britain voted to leave the European Union, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had tweeted saying, "Delhi will soon have a referendum on full statehood."

Twenty minutes before Kejriwal's tweet, AAP leader Ashish Khetan also tweeted, "after UK's referendum on EU exit, it's time to have a referendum on full statehood for Delhi. In a democracy the will of the ppl is supreme."

Delhi is a Union Territory with a legislative assembly that limits the power of the Delhi government and gives the city-state has a unique status.

Most importantly, law and order, including police (which are generally state subjects), along with land and civic bodies are controlled by the Union government. The representative of the union government in Delhi is the Lt Governor, now Najeeb Jung.

This is the reason there has been raging turf wars between the Kejriwal government and Jung.

In fact, statehood has been part of the Aam Aadmi Party manifesto, but it has not come to pass.
