Even as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday, 1 July, blamed the Lt Governor (L-G) for the inability to deliver in various spheres, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) announced its plan to ramp up its campaign over its demand for full statehood to Delhi.

Addressing a gathering of thousands of AAP supporters, Ministers and MLAs in Delhi, Kejriwal said that if "Prime Minister Narendra Modi fulfills his promise of granting Delhi full statehood before the 2019 general elections, his party will once again win all seven Lok Sabha seats in the national capital. If not, then in the next election, he should be ready to be left empty-handed."

He said that it was the L-G (Anil Baijal) who had not let his government build "more Mohalla Clinics, educational institutions, ensure ration delivery at doorsteps and install CCTVs for the people of Delhi."
