Heavens would not have fallen just because a senior IAS Officer of his choice was posted by the LG for ten days (with about only about seven working days). It appeared as if Mr. AK could not keep his ego under control when the posting was done by the LG without taking his consent. Legal and Constitutional experts and even those with experience in Delhi have confirmed that in Delhi which is a Union Territory the LG stands vested with power to make postings either in consultation with the Council of Ministers or otherwise and has vaster powers than the Governor has in States.
From a political angle no doubt Mr.AK has a point, namely that in a democracy the elected representatives should have the powers to make postings and transfers being responsible to the people. This calls for amendment of the Constitution and Laws or upgradation of Delhi into a State.
But the question is whether upgrading Delhi which carries pluses as well as minuses should be treated as a matter of top priority to satisfy the egoes of AAP functionaries. more
