CM , || Centre makes Delhi CM powerless ||
The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2021, which was introduced by the Centre in parliament on Monday, ostensibly with the objective of giving a proper interpretation to the Supreme Court ruling of 2018, has been criticised by the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi as an attempt to curtail the powers of the elected government. Meanwhile, experts have cautioned that it could face constitutional and legal hurdles as it also does away with various powers of the Delhi assembly committees.
Difference between objectives and reality
Though the objective of the Bill states that it will promote harmonious relations between the legislature and the executive, and further define the responsibilities of the elected government and the LG, in line with the constitutional scheme of governance of National Capital Territory of Delhi, as interpreted by the Honble Supreme Court, it is being widely felt that it would only increase friction between the elected government and the Centre, that governs Delhi through the L-G.
A major reason behind this is that the amendment notes that the opinion of the L-G will have to be sought on every decision by the ministers. This, officials insist, will only result in delay in projects and schemes, as a lot of files will have to be sent to the L-G since a large number of decisions are taken by the ministers on all kinds of issues on a daily basis.
