Delhi Govt Vs Centre

The Lieutenant Governor has shot down the Delhi government's proposal to "home deliver" basic public services - from birth certificates to social welfare schemes - deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia said on Tuesday.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who accuses the centre of flagrantly eating into his authority, won some support for his argument in the Supreme Court today with judges observing, "An elected govt should have some power to run, otherwise the government cannot function."

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is away in Punjab as his government suffered another setback today, with the Supreme Court refusing to stall a review of 400 files ordered by Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung.

The Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government will move the Supreme Court in a week's time to challenge the Delhi High Court verdict holding that Delhi was a Union Territory and the Lt Governor had the last word in its administration.
