AAP hails SC verdict as 'big victory'; BJP says it should shun demand for full statehood

NEW DELHI: The AAP nowadays termed the Supreme Court verdict on the disagreement between its government and the L. a. a "big victory" for the folks and democracy, even because the Delhi BJP mentioned the ruling party should now shun its "political demand" of complete statehood to town.

The Supreme Court nowadays passed a major victory to Delhi Chief Minister and AAP nationwide convener Arvind Kejriwal in his sour power tussle with Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, ruling that the LG has no unbiased power to take selections and is bound by way of the elected government's advice.

The Congress mentioned the verdict had accomplished away with all probabilities of a "blame game" between the BJP and the AAP and now, the 2 events should make sure that the advance of the nationwide capital, which was once "stalled" for years, is resumed.

Soon after the verdict, Kejriwal tweeted, "A big victory for the people of Delhi... a big victory for democracy..."

His deputy Manish Sisodia termed the judgment as "historic" and recalled the landmark mandate that the folks of Delhi had given to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) within the Assembly elections in February 2015 when the party won 67 of the 70 seats.

"On behalf of the people of Delhi, I want to thank the Supreme Court, and the judges for this historic decision. They have pronounced that the people of Delhi are supreme," Sisodia informed newshounds.

"We have not yet read the judgement in full, but what the court has said that people are supreme, elected government will be supreme, and LG has no power to act arbitrarily ('LG ke paas manmani karne ki power nahn hai')," he mentioned.

The "historic mandate" given to a new party was once for building, welfare of the folks and to facilitate resumption of long-pending works, Deputy Chief Minister Sisodia mentioned.

However, "hurdles" were thrown in the best way of the functioning of an elected government through a "wilful interpretation" of the Constitution, he alleged.

"Whether it was the issue of installation of CCTV cameras, ration scheme, transfer and posting (of officials), interference was being created," Sisodia mentioned.

The judgment pronounced by way of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, who was once heading a five-judge Constitution bench, also held that the LG can't act as an "obstructionist".

"There is no room for absolutism and there is no room for anarchism also," the five-judge bench of the court mentioned in an unanimous ruling pronounced by way of Misra.

The Delhi BJP welcomed the apex court's judgment, pronouncing the ruling party should now shun its "political demand" of complete statehood to town.

BJP MLA and Leader of Opposition within the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta mentioned the court's verdict has directed the AAP government to practice the law and it is anticipated that they will achieve this.

"We welcome the SC verdict. The Delhi government should have been following the law even without the order of the court. We hope, they will do so after the judgment," he mentioned.

Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor mentioned the verdict has "decided" that Delhi is an Union Territory (UT) and the AAP should prevent elevating their "political demand" for complete statehood.

"It is now decided that Delhi is an UT. So, the AAP and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal should stop raising the full statehood demand."


Kapoor mentioned the judgment has directed for more cooperation between the LG and town Cabinet and that every one events involved should appreciate the verdict.


Delhi Congress leader Ajay Maken mentioned, "Since the apex court has clarified about the powers in Delhi, we hope that the development, which has been stalled ever since the Congress was voted out of power over four years ago, will start again."


The LG and the chief minister should prevent the "blame game" now and develop Delhi because the Congress did all through its 15-year rule (1998-2013), he mentioned.


The Kejriwal-led AAP government has been in a relentless tug of conflict with the LG over the facility wielded by way of the 2 branches of the manager.
