New Delhi: Delhi ministers and AAP MPs, MLAs and councillors will stage a protest at Jantar Mantar right here on Wednesday (March 17) against the Centre’s bill that provides overarching energy to the Lieutenant Governor.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is probably going to lead the protest because the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) plans to mount a robust opposition to the central authorities transfer.
“All Delhi cabinet ministers, MLAs, Aam Aadmi Party MPs and councillors will participate in the protest,” Development Minister Gopal Rai instructed PTI.
The bill that was launched by the central authorities in Lok Sabha on Monday (March 15) is “unconstitutional”, he mentioned.
Kejriwal has accused the BJP of “drastically curtailing” the powers of the elected authorities by way of this bill.
The bill was launched by Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy in Lok Sabha makes it obligatory for the Delhi authorities to take the opinion of the Lieutenant Governor (LG) earlier than any government motion within the nationwide capital.
On Monday (March 15), Deputy Chief Manish Sisodia had alleged that the bill would stall Delhi’s progress by giving undue powers to the LG.Â
