Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE: Rajya Sabha LIVE

In the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament, the introduction of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, has stirred heated debates, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) vehemently opposing the move. Union Minister Nityanand Rai presented the bill in the Lok Sabha, aiming to replace an existing ordinance that governs the administration of services in the national capital.

However, the AAP has strongly criticized the bill, labeling it as the most "undemocratic" piece of legislation ever tabled in Parliament. The party believes that passing this bill would lead to the replacement of democracy with a "babucracy," emphasizing that it grants overriding powers to the bureaucracy and the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi.

The bill's contentions center on concerns about the curtailment of democratic rights and the concentration of decision-making authority in the hands of administrative officials, thereby undermining the elected representatives and the autonomy of the Delhi government.

As the debates continue, political tensions escalate, and the implications of the proposed amendment are hotly contested. The bill's passage or rejection will significantly impact the governance and decision-making processes in the national capital, and its consequences will be closely observed by various stakeholders and citizens alike.
