"Big Lesson For BJP": AAP's Raghav Chadha To NDTV On Court Order On Delhi

"It is a big lesson for the BJP that they should not disturb this fine balance of power that the constitution has provided between the Centre and the states," AAP's Raghav Chadha said

The Supreme Court's landmark judgment today clarifying that it is the elected government and not the Lieutenant Governor who is the boss of Delhi, should be a "big lesson" for the BJP, Aam Aadmi Party's Raghav Chadha told NDTV.  Welcoming the court's judgment, he said it was a victory for the people of Delhi and that "we (their elected representatives), can finally breathe".

"It is a big lesson for the BJP that they should not disturb this fine balance of power that the constitution has provided between the Centre and the states," Mr Chadha said in an exclusive interview.  

"Also, it is for them to understand that this regular fetish to undermine elected governments is neither good for the democracy nor good for politics and that's what the Supreme Court said today," he added.

"It is inconceivable that a government exists with no control, no administrative control over officers. A government cannot function like this.  A government, its ministers, function through bureaucrats," said Mr Chadha.
