Arvind Kejriwal has repeatedly said that the Central Government should hand over control of the Delhi police to the Delhi state government. His motives are not sincere and he is not aware of the constitutional provisions which cannot allow the Delhi police to come under the Delhi state government.
What are the provisions? Lets have a look at them. Clause 3(a) of Article 239AA of the Indian Constitution, by which the NCT of Delhi was constituted, says that the power to make laws regarding the Delhi police is with Parliament. And the executive power is co-extensive with the legislative power.vide Article 162.
So it will require a Constitutional amendment to hand over the power over the Delhi police to the Delhi state government. Such an amendment requires two third majority of members present and voting in each House of Parliament, vide Article 368. It cannot be done by the Central government even if it wants to. This is the law of the land and has to be followed
So who is Kejriwal trying to befool ? Does he think that because most people do not know the law he can deceive the public ?. This man as I have earlier said is a charlatan. Its about time the famous quote of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw is applied to him. He had stated " Those who talk by the mile and perform by the inch, deserve a kick by the foot".
