NEW DELHI: The tussle for power between Center and the Arvind Kejriwal government will now play out in the Supreme court on Friday.However the residents of Delhi are facing the so many problem between the tug of war.
Kejriwal government challenged Centre’s notification in Delhi high court, while the Centre moved Supreme Court against an earlier Delhi high court order calling its notification ‘suspect’.
On other hand Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is playing the card of non BJP state government. He cautioned the non BJP government that Delhi is the trial of Modi government. If the center will get success then it will be implimented in other states.
Throwing its weight behind Delhi lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung in his tussle with chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Centre had unambiguously declared that the LG was not obliged to heed the AAP government on bureaucratic postings and transfers.
The Centre issued a notification emphasizing that in matters concerning central services; that is, IAS, IPS, DANICS and DANIPS, the LG’s discretion is paramount, thus rebuffing Kejriwal’s contention that Jung could not act independently of the state government in matters concerning transfers and postings of central officers deputed to Delhi government.
The Centre’s notification also made it clear that the jurisdiction of Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) police station of Delhi government was restricted only to employees and officers of the Delhi government and did not extend to “officers, employees and functionaries of the central government”, thus eliminating the room for any possible action by the Kejriwal-backed department against anyone who is not part of the state government.
However, Delhi high court in a ruling on the issue backed the AAP government’s stand and called the Centre’s notification a ‘suspect’.
