Abstract

The adoption of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 2021, violates the principles established in the constitution, primarily the federal structure, as the notion of power-sharing between the centre and the NCT of Delhi is fully tilted toward the centre. Ambiguity in the interpretation of Articles 239 and 239AA has caused controversy between the federal and state governments. The solution of enacting the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 2021 is not the solution because it violates constitutional norms. Providing statehood to the NCT of Delhi is one idea that could help to solve this situation more effectively.
