L-G created unelected machinery of governance: Delhi govt to Supreme Court

The Delhi government has told the Supreme Court that Lieutenant Governor (L-G) has de facto created an unelected machinery of governance that runs parallel to the elected government of NCT of Delhi and the L-G's office has derailed the governance in the national capital.

In an affidavit before a constitution bench, which is hearing the power sharing between the Centre and the Delhi government, the Delhi government said: "First, the L-G has de facto created an unelected machinery of governance in the NCT that runs parallel to the elected government of NCT Delhi; second, the L-G has consistently stalled and impeded the functioning of the elected government of NCT of Delhi, by exercise of powers of veto and non-concurrence that do not constitutionally vest in him."

Delhi deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in the affidavit said that effecting a parallel machinery of governance by taking unilateral executive action amounts to direct and unconstitutional usurpation of the power of the council of ministers.
