The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi faced criticism from Delhi’s Environment Minister Gopal Rai after the Supreme Court’s five-judge panel ruled in favour of the Delhi government in the dispute over control of services in the nation’s capital.
“Delhi has got the gift of a big victory today. The Supreme Court verdict is a slap to the campaign by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led central government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to illegally usurp elected governments,” said Gopal Rai on Thursday in a press briefing.
After the Supreme Court’s decision, he tweeted “Satyamev Jayate” as well.
The Supreme Court’s decision in the Centre-Delhi services dispute was hailed as a “victory of democracy” by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
The struggle between the Centre and the Delhi government over control of services in the national capital was decided by the Supreme Court on Thursday. According to the Supreme Court, the Delhi government will be in charge of all administrative services with the exception of land, public order, and police.
On Thursday, a five-judge SC panel chaired by CJI DY Chandrachud declared that the L-G does not have the authority to interfere with the legislative processes of the Delhi legislature and elected government.
The Supreme Court ruled that the governance of Delhi is similar to that of other states and that L-G must abide by its recommendations.
After the Supreme Court declared that the Delhi government has legislative authority over administrative services in the national capital, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal convened a meeting of his ministers today.
