  • Kejriwal’s allegation, BJP wants to grab Delhi through ordinance

    Kejriwal’s allegation, BJP wants to grab Delhi through ordinance

    New Delhi (IANS) | Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday alleged that the BJP was trying to capture Delhi through the ordinance. Kejriwal criticized the central government for its ordinance and misuse of the recently established National Capital Civil Services Authority (NCCSA).

    Kejriwal said that this ordinance puts the officers above the ministers, the chief minister and the cabinet.

    He said that its most dangerous thing is that now the final decision in every department will not be taken by the minister but by the secretary of the department. The Secretary can overrule the decision of the Minister. In addition, the Chief Secretary will be placed above the cabinet, giving him the authority to determine which decisions made by the cabinet are correct.

    Kejriwal also alleged that two officials have been appointed above the chief minister in a clear attempt to subvert the will of the people, to reverse the decisions in the NCCSA.

    No proposal can be brought in the cabinet without the consent of these officers, Kejriwal alleged. The move effectively places all decision-making power in the hands of officials under the direct control of the central government.

    Kejriwal also claimed that the NCCSA is a farce, as the decisions to be taken under it are already decided by the Centre, which despite facing defeat in the assembly polls in Delhi through this body in a ‘cunning’ manner. is trying to grab.

    We need to first understand what the Center is trying to do through this ordinance, he said. After losing the assembly elections in Delhi thrice in a row, the BJP-led central government is now trying to capture the city through this ordinance.

    Kejriwal said the provisions of the ordinance empower government officials to overrule cabinet decisions.

    The CM said, the central government has included several provisions in this ordinance, through which the government officer appointed by it reviews every decision made by the elected government of Delhi.

    The Chief Minister said, now a government official will also review the decisions of the Delhi cabinet. Therefore, in each department of the government the officer appointed by the center, and not the minister, would be the supreme authority.
