Congress to oppose Centre’s ordinance on control of services in Delhi
The Congress party has declared its opposition to the Centre’s ordinance on the control of services in Delhi, stating that it will resist any attempt by the central government to “sabotage federalism” in the country. Congress general secretary KC Venugopal stated that the party will not tolerate any interference by the Centre in states ruled by opposition parties through the governors. The party has decided to oppose the Delhi ordinance in Parliament whenever a bill is introduced. This move by the Congress has been welcomed by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP and national spokesperson Raghav Chadha.
Background:
★The ordinance aims to establish a National Capital Civil Service Authority for the transfer and disciplinary proceedings against Group-A officers from the DANICS cadre.
★Before the May 11 verdict of the apex court, the transfer and postings of all officers of the Delhi government were under the executive control of the lieutenant governor.
The Congress party’s unequivocal opposition to the ordinance has been seen as a positive development by the AAP. The AAP had previously stated that it would join the opposition meeting in Bengaluru if the Congress extended its support to the AAP in opposing the Delhi ordinance in Parliament.
In conclusion, the Congress party has taken a clear stand against the Centre’s ordinance on the control of services in Delhi, vowing to resist any attempt to undermine federalism in the country. This move has been welcomed by the AAP, and the parties are expected to join forces in opposing the ordinance in Parliament.
