New Delhi, June 24 (IBNS) As a historic referendum by Britons takes the United Kingdom out of the European Union, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal takes cue from it to raise the issue once again for Delhi's statehood.

"After UK referendum, delhi will soon have a referendum on full statehood," Kejriwal tweeted.

The AAP has been demanding full statehood status for Delhi since long and it has been a running battle with the Centre and Lt Governor over the issue of primacy.

AAP leader Ashish Khetan also  took to Twitter and said: “After the UK referendum on EU exit, it’s time to have a referendum on full statehood of Delhi. In a democracy the will of the people is supreme.”
