Fail to know what benefit BJD, YSRCP have present in Delhi providers invoice: Chidambaram

The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Tuesday prolonged its help to the invoice changing the Delhi providers ordinance in a lift to the treasury benches.

NEW DELHI: Senior Congress chief P Chidambaram on Tuesday took a swipe on the BJD and the YSRCP for pledging help for the invoice to interchange the Delhi providers ordinance and stated he fails to know what benefit they’ve discovered within the laws.

The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Tuesday prolonged its help to the invoice changing the Delhi providers ordinance in a lift to the treasury benches, particularly in Rajya Sabha, and in addition backed the federal government in opposition to the no-confidence movement introduced by opposition events.

Last week, Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) functionaries had stated that the celebration will vote in favour of the federal government in Rajya Sabha when it takes up the invoice to interchange the Delhi Services ordinance subsequent week.

In a tweet, Chidambaram stated, “I can understand BJP MPs supporting the Delhi Services Authority Bill, but I fail to understand what merit in the bill was found by the BJD and YSRCP parties.”

The Union authorities on Tuesday tabled the contentious invoice in Lok Sabha to interchange the Delhi providers ordinance amid vociferous protests by opposition member.

The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, which provides the Delhi Lieutenant Governor a remaining say on the switch and posting of officers of town authorities, will strengthen the Central authorities’s management over the nationwide capital.

“Have the two parties (ruling parties in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh) found merit in the three-member authority where the (Delhi) chief minister will be just one against two officers appointed by the central government?” the previous house minister stated.

Have they discovered benefit within the provision the place the 2 officers can represent the quorum and maintain a gathering and take selections with out the participation of the chief minister, he requested.

“Have they found merit in the provision where the two officers can overrule the chief minister? Have they found merit in the provision where the LG can overrule even a unanimous decision of the authority?” Chidambaram stated on Twitter.

He requested have the 2 events discovered benefit within the provision that empowers the central authorities to outline the “powers and duties” of the officers working within the Delhi authorities to the exclusion of the ministers of the Delhi authorities.

The Congress chief tweeted, “Have the two parties realised that if the bill were passed, the officers will be the masters and the ministers will be the subordinates?”

The BJD turned the second celebration in addition to the YSR Congress, amongst these not formally aligned with both the ruling BJP or the opposition, to announce help to the Centre on the Delhi providers invoice, dealing a blow to the opposition’s efforts to cobble collectively a majority in Rajya Sabha the place the treasury benches lack a majority on their very own.
