Services row: Centre's ordinance 'unconstitutional', attempt to snatch power from Delhi govt, says AAP

The AAP on May 20 said the Centre’s ordinance on the transfer of bureaucrats in Delhi is “unconstitutional” and a move to snatch the power given to the Delhi government by the Supreme Court in services matters.
The AAP on May 20 said the Centre's ordinance on the transfer of bureaucrats in Delhi is "unconstitutional" and a move to snatch the power given to the Delhi government by the Supreme Court in services matters.
Addressing a press conference, Delhi minister Atishi said the Centre deliberately chose to bring the ordinance at a time when the Supreme Court has closed for summer vacation.
The Centre promulgated an ordinance on Friday to create a National Capital Civil Service Authority for transfer of and disciplinary proceedings against Group-A officers from the DANICS cadre.
This came a week after the Supreme Court handed over the control of services, excluding those related to police, public order and land, in Delhi to the elected government.
Atishi said the Centre's ordinance shows that "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scared of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal" and the power of honest politics.
"They are scared that if he (Kejriwal) gets power, he will do extraordinary work for Delhi. The ordinance is an attempt to snatch the power given to the AAP dispensation by the apex court on May 11," she said.
Even if Delhi's people voted for Kejriwal, this ordinance says he will not run Delhi, the minister said.
