Centre sets up ordinance after SC verdict on services row

The ordinance issued by the Centre on 19 May set up a National Capital Civil Service Authority, bringing back executive control over matters related to services to its domain.

It was issued close on the heels of a Supreme Court verdict on 11 May, through which the Delhi government was given the executive control over service-related matters, including the transfers and postings of Delhi government officers but excluding those related to police, public order and land.

When asked about the AAP’s moves against the ordinance, BJP leader Gautam Gambhir alleged that Delhi has witnessed “no development” in the last nine years.

The Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government has only been “collecting money from the taxpayers to fight elections in other states,” he added. “What development has he (Arvind Kejriwal) brought to Delhi in these nine years? They only collect money from here and fights elections in other states,” he alleged.
