K Chandrashekar Rao: On Saturday, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao backed his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal in opposing the Center’s legislation on service control in the capital. “The Centre does not permit the non-BJP administrations to run their affairs. The AAP is an extremely well-liked party in Delhi. The municipal elections were won by the AAP. KCR, the chief minister of Telangana, spoke at a press conference and said, “They (the BJP) created obstacles in the way, and eventually the Delhi government had to move to Supreme Court.

Centre’s Ordinance Aims to Regulate Group-A Officer Postings in Delhi
On May 19, the Centre published an ordinance to establish a committee for the posting and transfer of Group-A officials in Delhi. The Supreme Court’s decision on service control was criticised by the AA as being misleading. The ordinance was passed a week after the Supreme Court gave Delhi’s elected government jurisdiction over all services except for police, public safety, and land. In order to transfer Group-A officials from the DANICS cadre and to conduct disciplinary actions against them, it proposes to establish a National Capital Civil Service Authority. Before the top court’s ruling on May 11, all Delhi government officers were subject to the lieutenant governor’s executive supervision when it came to transfers and postings. Arvind Kejriwal announced that he will personally contact the leaders of every opposition party to ask for their support in the dispute so that any bill introduced by the Centre to replace the ordinance is defeated in the Rajya Sabha amid the AAP government’s dispute with the Centre over the control of administrative services.
