New Delhi, Feb 14 (IANS) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Saturday said he wanted a constructive partnership with the central government and pitched for full statehood for the national capital.

“I want to work with the central government, we want constructive cooperation to make Delhi a great place to live in,” he said.
