  1. With this so called ‘positive’ step is the state border dispute will get resolved, or inviting fresh troubles ?

    On a lighter side . . . would love if Kejriwal gets himself involved to dig into any scam in this construction as well. Adding further spice, just imagine if he conducts the press conference on the same day of inauguration and conclude that 2nd innings will follow with documentary proof etc . . 🙂
