Watch: Rajya Sabha passes NCT bill amid uproar, Opposition walks out

Published on Mar 25, 2021 12:19 am IST

  • Parliament on Wednesday approved a bill giving primacy to Delhi's Lieutenant Governor (L-G) over the elected government, after uproar by the opposition in Rajya Sabha with members of several parties walking out of the House. The Delhi government will now have to seek the opinion of the lieutenant governor before any executive action after the passage of GNCTD bill. The Centre has maintained that the bill is in line with the Supreme Court's July 2018 ruling on the ambit of powers of the lieutenant governor and the Delhi government after a series of run-ins between the two. The bill which seeks to make it clear that the "government" in Delhi means the "Lieutenant Governor" was passed by Lok Sabha on March 22.
