AAP has been demanding grant of full statehood to Delhi.
In the campaign for Lok Sabha polls last year, BJP too had promised to declare Delhi a full state if the party came to power, noting that it will help ensure proper coordination between various agencies. BJP had swept the Lok Sabha polls in Delhi winning all seven seats with huge margins.
However, the party did not clearly spell out its position on the statehood issue in its vision document released ahead of Assembly polls in February. The party had come out with a vision document instead of a manifesto.
