Meanwhile, the Opposition INDIA alliance walked out of the Lok Sabha when voting on the bill took place. 

The bill to replace the Delhi services ordinance is constitutionally valid and is for the benefit of the people of the national capital, Home Minister Amit Shah said in the Lok Sabha. 

He also said that once the Delhi services ordinance is passed, the opposition alliance will collapse. 

हर बार बीजेपी ने वादा किया कि दिल्ली को पूर्ण राज्य का दर्जा देंगे। 2014 में मोदी जी ने ख़ुद कहा कि प्रधान मंत्री बनने पर दिल्ली को पूर्ण राज्य का दर्जा देंगे। लेकिन आज इन लोगों ने दिल्ली वालों की पीठ में छुरा घोंप दिया। आगे से मोदी जी की किसी बात पे विश्वास मत करना https://t.co/y1sCvbtZvU
