Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of attempting to strip away the elected government’s power in Delhi through a recent ordinance. Here are the key highlights of the controversy:
Expansion:
– On Wednesday, Kejriwal criticized the Centre’s ordinance, stating that it would effectively mean that the Chief Minister of Delhi would no longer be him, but Modi.
– Kejriwal argued that the ordinance would render the elected government of Delhi powerless, and go against the orders of the Supreme Court.
– The ordinance in question, the National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Act, 2021, was passed by the Centre in March this year. It seeks to give more powers to the Lieutenant Governor (LG) of Delhi, who is appointed by the Centre, and reduce the powers of the elected government.
– The LG of Delhi has been at odds with Kejriwal’s government on several occasions, with the two sides clashing over issues such as the appointment of bureaucrats and control over the Delhi Police.
– Kejriwal has accused the BJP-led Centre of attempting to undermine the democratic process in Delhi by diluting the powers of the elected government.
Conclusion:
The Centre’s ordinance has been a source of controversy since it was passed earlier this year, with many critics arguing that it goes against the principles of federalism and democracy. Kejriwal’s attack on Modi is likely to further escalate tensions between the Centre and the Delhi government, and could lead to further legal battles in the future. As of now, it remains to be seen how this issue will be resolved, and what the implications will be for the future of Delhi’s governance.
