Arvind Kejriwal had said that the Centre’s ordinance on control of services in Delhi shows that the Modi government does not trust the Supreme Court. In a democracy, the power should be in the hands of the elected government, because it is accountable to the people. BJP neither believes in democracy nor in the Supreme Court.
It is worth mentioning that the Central Government had brought an ordinance on May 19 to set up the National Capital Public Service Authority for the transfer of Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and DANICS cadre officers and for administrative action against them. A week before this, the Supreme Court had handed over the control of the services to the elected government of Delhi in all matters except police, civil service and land related matters.
