 "Arvind Kejriwal Hails Supreme Court Decision as a Victory for Democracy in Delhi's 'Power' Tussle with LG"


Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, has hailed the recent decision by the Supreme Court of India as a victory for democracy. The court's decision upheld the constitutional authority of the elected government of Delhi over the Lieutenant Governor, resolving a long-standing power tussle between the two.

In response to the decision, Kejriwal tweeted, "Democracy has won. There is no room for absolutism and there is no place for dictatorship. LG's role is now limited to that of a constitutional head."

The power tussle between the Delhi government and the LG has been ongoing for several years, with the two sides often at odds over issues related to governance and administration. The main bone of contention has been the interpretation of the Constitution about the powers of the elected government versus those of the LG, which represents the central government.

The recent Supreme Court decision has settled this issue by affirming the elected government's right to govern and administer Delhi while limiting the role of the LG to that of a constitutional figurehead.

The decision has been widely hailed by proponents of democracy and federalism, who see it as a victory for the principle of decentralization and the devolution of power to elected representatives. It is hoped that the resolution of this long-standing dispute will pave the way for more cooperative governance in Delhi and better outcomes for the city's residents.

Overall, the Supreme Court's decision is being seen as a win for democracy and a positive step towards greater decentralization and empowerment of elected representatives in India.
