Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has written a letter to the opposition parties to discuss the Centre's ordinance that effectively nullifies the Supreme Court order over control of services in Delhi while alleging that similar ordinances could be brought for other states too.

Kejriwal appealed to the leaders of opposition parties to discuss how to defeat the bill related to the Centre's Ordinance in Rajya Sabha in their upcoming meeting scheduled to take place in Bihar's Patna on June 23.

"On June 23, the meeting of opposition parties in Bihar should first discuss how to defeat the ordinance in Parliament," Arvind Kejriwal said in his letter dated June 20. He said, "The ordinance is an experiment, and if it is successful, the Centre will bring similar ordinances in non-BJP states and take away the right of the state government from the subjects of the Concurrent List."

"The day is not far when the Prime Minister will run all state governments through 33 governors/LG," he said in the letter. Kejriwal said that democracy will end in Delhi if the ordinance is implemented and after Delhi, it will also end in other states.

"Once the ordinance is implemented, democracy will end in Delhi, the Center will run the government through LG, and after Delhi, democracy will end in other states too," Kejriwal said in his letter.
