Delhi ordinance is a murder of mandate and insult to judiciary, says Akhilesh

Describing as an insult to the judiciary the ordinance brought by the Union government in creating a ‘National Capital Civil Service Authority’, which will now make recommendations to the Lieutenant-Governor (L-G) in relation to matters concerning the transfer, posting and vigilance for Group A officers, with the L-G’s decision final in case of a difference of opinion, Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was aware it would lose all the parliamentary seats in Delhi in the next elections.

“The BJP knows that it will be defeated in all the seats of Delhi in the Lok Sabha elections, that’s why it is already taking revenge from the public. This is murder of mandate in the name of ordinance,” Mr. Yadav said.

“The Delhi ordinance is an insult to the judiciary. This is the result of negative politics of the BJP and also of democratic-injustice,” the former U.P. Chief Minister added.
