Arvind Kejriwal will meet Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai today, uniting the opposition against the central government’s ordinance

Mumbai: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal these days is engaged in mobilizing the opposition parties against the ordinance brought by the central government. In this episode, he met West Bengal CM Mamta Banerjee on Tuesday. Now this afternoon, Arvind Kejriwal will also meet former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray. After this, he will also meet Sharad Pawar, the convenor of Mahavikas Aghadi and Chanakya of politics. The purpose of meeting the leaders of the opposition parties of Kejriwal is to unite all the opposition parties against the ordinance brought by the central government. Arvind Kejriwal has appealed that when the central government brings this ordinance in the Rajya Sabha in the form of a bill, then the entire opposition should oppose it unitedly. So that it does not take the form of law.

What did Kejriwal say in West Bengal?
In a press conference with Mamta Banerjee on Tuesday, Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at the Modi government. He said that we have seen in Punjab, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu how the governors are troubling the government. What they did in Delhi is against democracy. The people of the country should remove this arrogant government. I would like to thank Didi that she said that she will support us in the Rajya Sabha. If this bill falls in Rajya Sabha then it will be semi-final before 2024. On the other hand, Mamta Banerjee said that even after the decision of the Supreme Court, we will oppose the ordinance brought by the central government against the Delhi government and I urge all the parties to come together on this.

What is the ordinance of the central government?
The Modi government at the Center had issued an ordinance reversing the order of the Supreme Court late in the evening of Friday, May 19. In fact, the central government has brought the ‘National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Ordinance, 2023’. According to this ordinance, the right to take the final decision related to transfer and posting of any officer has been given back to the Lieutenant Governor. It has become clear from this that now the Lieutenant Governor will get the officers posted or transferred. Under the Ordinance, a ‘National Capital Public Service Authority’ has been constituted for transfer and disciplinary action against Group A officers of ‘DANICS’ cadre serving in Delhi.

Let us inform that ‘Daniks’ means Delhi, Andaman-Nicobar, Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli Civil Services. This National Capital Public Service Authority will have three members. The first member will be the Chief Minister of Delhi, the second will be the Chief Secretary of Delhi and the third member will be the Home Principal Secretary of Delhi. The chief minister will be the chairman of this authority. The special thing is that the National Capital Public Service Authority will have the right to take all the transfer and appointment decisions of Daniks and ‘Group A’ officers, but this decision can be implemented only after the consent of the Lieutenant Governor. In simple words, if any decision taken by this authority does not seem correct to the Lieutenant Governor, then he can return it back to this authority to change or correct it. Despite this, if no consensus is reached, then the final decision will be taken by the Lieutenant Governor.
