Hope this is an end



Today I want to quote Mr HKL Bhagat who was the member of Indian National Congress he once said Buerocracy how so enlightened cannot be a substitute for an elected government because elected representatives have there answer ability towards the Public which bureaucrats doesn’t have and today  the 5 judge bench of the supreme court which Includes Chief Justice Dipak Mishra, Justice Atul Sikri, Justice Kharwekar, Justice Chandrachur anmd Justice Ashok Bhushan has proven this quote right  they said that the L-G cannot act as an obstructionist and can refer issues to the President only in exceptional matters and not as a general rule



The Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy has welcome this decision by saying that "I welcome the verdict, and it is totally applicable for the government of Puducherry which is also a Union Territory,". Everyone is aware that he is engaged in a running feud with Lt. Governor Kiran Bedi, Narayanasamy hailed the Supreme Court judgement on the powers of an elected government, and insisted it was "totally applicable" to the Union Territory too. The veteran Congress leader warned he would file a contempt petition if the LG failed to act in accordance with the apex court verdict.

There judgements were as follows

CJI Mishra on the behalf of Justice Atul Sikri, Justice Kharwekar - The status of NCT Delhi is special a class apart and status of Lieutenant Governor Delhi is not that of Governor but a Administrative head in a limited sense  and the LG is not Entrusted with any Independent Power Decision Making and by quoting Article 239AA he said that The LG has to either act on aid and advice of council of ministers or he is bound to take decision made by the President and he also said that LG cannot work as Obstructionist

Justice DY Chandrachur – Real power and answer-ability is in the hands of the elected representatives and he also said that LG must realise that the council of ministers are answerable to the people and he cannot stall every decision of Delhi Government
The court has also made clear that is not mandatory for the CM to take every permission from the Governor and it is 100% clear that LG has only 3 departments in his hands one is land second is police and third is Public Order and rest all are hands of Delhi Government 

Full Statehood to Delhi

From 1956 to 1992 Delhi was a Union Territory and it was run by the Chief Administrators and Lieutenant and after that in 1992 they granted NCT status and Madan Lal Khuarana Became an elected CM of the State and from them in each and every party said In their election manifesto that they will give full state hood to delhi which no one did not even the Ruling AAP Party but in the year 2002 LK Advani who was Minister of Home Affair made a proposal in the Parliament that the area of Delhi which is Under NDMC should be kept away from Delhi and rest of the Area should be declared as a full state but that proposal didn’t got cleared and S  today has also not gave any judgement on that but one thing is clear that delhi cannot be become a full state so BJP, Congress and AAP should not Include this agenda in their manifesto’s and make false promises in front of public.

My Opinion

This Judgement is a lesson not only for LG or BJP but also for the Delhi Government and CM Mr. Arvind Kejriwal the lesson for the BJP and LG is that you should not misuse your power for your selfish benefits and you should remember the lesson of Uttrakhand and Arunanchal and for Mr Kejriwal the biggest quality of the Former Chief Ministers was that they made a peace with the LG and Opposition leaders and ran the government of Delhi which you haven’t done that due to you anger issues which is not right you are in the federal system and as the CM you have to follow that and make your people happy don’t always act like a warrior who is always ready to wage wars act like a diplomat and I am as your admirer is saying you this  
But the Big question is it a end of the war between Central Government and NCT Government now on the CM Cannot say that his government works are been disturbed by LG because from now on LG is no one so you should do all those works which LG stopped by using his power the schemes like Door to Door Rashan Delivery and Regular the Lectures should be done quickly and also the salary hike of the MLA’s
I also hope that it is an end to this Tissle of Power now the real work starts.
