The recent decision by honorable Delhi High Court in the case by Delhi government over rights and powers is a simple interpretation of constitution which is correct and apt.
But then the main idea of democracy does not stand strong here. If the elected representatives are so powerless and cannot not make decisions, they do not need to be there at all. Delhi is not a full state and if you see, Delhi basically is a large metropolitan city and Delhi chief minister is just a mayor of the same. But because it has assembly, it has to act like a state. A State which is not as independent or powerful as other states of the country are.
Well, the basic idea of keeping Delhi as union territory is good as it is a capital which represents entire country. From president house to ambassadors of all countries live here and any bad will prove to be costly.
Considering all the facets of the matter, it is high time for center government to take a decision. They can take control of some important roads like the ones that lead to airport or parliament along with the New Delhi’s VIP area and then let the elected government govern the rest with full authority.
If that seems difficult or un-doable, the center should better take charge of full NCT and dismiss all the elections. The MCD and other small departments can be run by LG and the administration can still function this way.
There has been enough face-off between state and center on the issue and in the fight, only common man ends up as sufferer. The state government led by AAP Party can easily wash its hands off on all the things they did not or could not deliver by pointing fingers are the center. But of course they will take the credit of things they were or will be able to do. So odd-even, mohalla clinic, and school reforms will help AAP consolidate its political ground. Perhaps they have got a strong base as they look to foray into politics of other states like Punjab, Goa, and even BJP forte Gujrat.
In all the drama and news, the common man will remain clueless as they don’t even know who to blame. A decision in favor of Delhi
