The Government NCT Amendment Act 2021
The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Act, 2021, came into force yesterday, according to a Home Ministry notification. It withdraws powers from the elected government and bestows them upon the Centre-appointed lieutenant governor. Now, the elected AAP government needs the approval of the LG before taking any executive action under any law because the amendment makes it clear that the LG is now the “government”.
The Delhi government will now have to seek the opinion of the Lieutenant Governor before taking any executive action. The law was controversially cleared in Parliament last month amid opposition protests in both houses.
