The Lok Sabha on Monday passed the The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2021, that aims to give Centre more power over Delhi.

The Bill suggests amendments to the Act that specifies the roles of the elected government and the nominated Lieutenant Governor in Delhi.

The Centre had said that the Bill has been brought to end ambiguity in running the affairs of the national capital, and appealed to everyone not to term it a “political move” since it will be beneficial to the people of the city.

Reacting to the decision, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal called it an insult to the people of Delhi.
