MCD polls: Some may win, some may lose but nothing for Delhi to gain

India Today  

Delhi has often been derided for its unique governance structure, which has three distinct levels: the Centre, state and municipality. A political party would win the polls and others would lose, but governance in Delhi would continue to remain defeated. Politics of confrontation between the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre and the Aam Aadmi Party-ruled Delhi has hampered the city’s infrastructure and its financial growth. No wonder this was the best phase of development too in Delhi, despite different parties controlling different tiers of government in the national capital. To the credit of leaders like Khurana, Sahib Singh and later Sheila Dikshit, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi was given a fresh lease of life under the 1996 Act.
