An overview of governance in Delhi | Explained

The Hindu  

The story so far: The Supreme Court has ruled that the Lieutenant Governor of the National Capital Territory of Delhi can nominate 10 aldermen to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi on his own without the aid and advice of its council of ministers. Since 2015, the Union government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Delhi government led by Aam Aadmi Party have been at loggerheads on various issues. The judgments of the Supreme Court have resulted in amendments to the Government of NCT of Delhi Act that have curtailed the powers of the elected government in Delhi. The NCT of Delhi is spread over 1,450 sq kms while the capital of our country ‘New Delhi’ that houses most of the central government offices and foreign embassies is around 50 sq kms. A similar approach may be considered where the area in ‘New Delhi’ of 50-100 square kilometres can be under the complete control of the Central government.
