“This House in its sitting dated 18/01/2023 resolves that it is concerned about the unconstitutional interference by Hon’ble Lt. Governor in the functioning of Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) especially conduct of free and fair elections of Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Members of Standing Committee.

"""This House strongly condemns the move of the Lieutenant Governor to prevent the Teachers of Government schools of Delhi from being sent to Finland for training. The people of Delhi have elected a popular Government under the leadership of Chief Minister Sh. Arvind Kejriwal to work on education, health, electricity, water etc. If the Government elected by the full majority of the people of Delhi wants to provide world-class training to the Teachers of the Government schools of Delhi, and for this the budget has also been passed in this Assembly, then in such a situation, the Lieutenant Governor has no right under the Constitution that he should not allow Government school Teachers to go to Finland for training. Education is a transferred subject to the Delhi Legislative Assembly in the country's Constitution. In the context of Delhi, only three subjects – police, public order and land – have been reserved in the Constitution for decision-making by the Union Government. The Constitution Bench of the Hon'ble Supreme Court has also ruled that the elected Government of Delhi has the right to take decisions on the rest of the subjects except the above three reserved subjects related to Delhi. The Constitution Bench of Hon'ble Supreme Court in its judgment (dated 04 July 2018, para 284 (point number 17)), has clearly stated that : “There is no independent authority vested in Lieutenant Governor to take decisions save and except on matters where he exercises his discretion as a judicial or quasijudicial authority under any law or has been entrusted with powers by the President under Article 239 on matters which lie outside the competence of the Government of NCT.” In its order dated 04 July 2018, para 475 (point number 20), the Constitution Bench has further stated that : “The meaning of ‘aid and advise’ employed in Article 239AA(4) has to be construed to mean that the Lieutenant Governor of NCT of Delhi is bound by the aid and advise of the Council of Ministers and this position holds true so long as the Lieutenant Governor does not exercise his power under the proviso to clause (4) of Article 239AA. The Lieutenant Governor has not been entrusted with any Independent decision-making power. He has to either act on the ‘aid and advise’ of Council of Ministers or he is bound to implement the decision.” It is clear from the Constitution of provisions and the decision given by the Constitution Bench of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in this regard that the right to make decision pertaining to the education of the children of Delhi rests with the elected Government of Delhi. The Lieutenant Governor has not been provided any power in the Constitution to take a decision in this regard. Despite this, the move by the Lieutenant Governor to stop the Teachers from going to Finland is not only unconstitutional but also a violation of the order of the Hon'ble Spreme Court. It is unfortunate that the Hon'ble Lt. Governor violated the order of the Constitution Bench of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and has not followed the Constitution. This House agrees with the proposal of the Delhi Government that if we want to provide world class education to our children studying in schools, then for this we have to ensure that our Teachers also get world class training. Today, the education system of Finland is considered the best in the whole world. Countries around the world are taking inspiration from education reforms done in Finland to improve the quality of Government schools. This House supports the move of the Delhi Government to send Teachers of Delhi Government schools to Finland for training. At the same time, this House requests the Lieutenant Governor to refrain from violating the orders given by the Constitutional Bench of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in future and work in accordance with the provision of the Constitution and not interfere in the subjects that come under the jurisdiction of the elected Government of Delhi.

“Taking cognisance of the news reports published in few Newspapers in Delhi regarding the CBI enquiry against the Hon’ble Members of this House who have forwarded or recommended transfer of employees like drivers and conductors in DTC; This House strongly condemns the CBI in its attempt to selectively target elected Hon’ble Members who were performing their duties that are expected from elected representatives; and This House also recommends that the matter of some newspapers and news agencies publishing the names of the Hon’ble Members of the House for frivolous matters like this be referred to the Privileges Committee.”

"The Legislative Assembly for the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, in its sitting on 29th July 2021, adopted the following resolution : “This House expresses its strong disapproval over the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India, order dated 27th July, 2021 appointing Sh. Rakesh Asthana to the post of Commissioner of Police, Delhi, for a period of one year or till further orders. This MHA order is in complete violation of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India judgement dated 13th March 2019 in the case titled : Prakash Singh Vs Union of India. The judgement clearly lays down that no individual who has less than six months of service left, can be considered for appointment as head of a police force anywhere in the country. It is a widely known fact that Sh. Asthana was to retire from service on 31st July –meaning barely two days later. Further, the post of Commissioner of Police, Delhi, belongs to the AGMUT IPS cadre. This appointment of a controversial Gujarat cadre officer, who has faced multiple inquiries on serious charges in the past, will only bring Delhi Police into controversies. Further, it is beyond any reasonable understanding as to why a controversial officer who was removed by this Central government from the post of Special Director, CBI in October 2018 and was notconsidered fit for the post of CBI Director only very recently, is being imposed on Delhi Police. Given the past track record of this officer, there is a reasonable apprehension that the Central Government will use him for foisting false cases on political rivals to create a reign of terror in the national capital. Such a controversial individual should NOT be heading the police force in the country’s national capital. This House directs the Government of NCTof Delhi to convey to the MHA that the appointment order of Sh. Rakesh Asthana be immediately withdrawn and fresh process for the appointment of Commissioner of Police for Delhi be initiated in accordance with proper rules and regulations.”"

“The Legislative Assembly in its sitting held on 18.12.2020 resolves that: “The House notes with concern that the people of Delhi are very unhappy with the party ruling the Municipal Corporations of Delhi over the past 14 years. The Municipal Corporations have exceeded all limits of corruption and has failed in all its responsibilities such as Sanitation, Cleaning, Garbage disposal, primary health, primary education, roads, cleaning of drains, controlling stray animals, maintenance of parks. In all fronts the Municipal Corporations have failed completely. The House has also observed that recently a huge scam has been unearthed in the Municipal Corporations and is deeply concerned with this. It is a matter of shame that the entire Delhi is discussing the scam of Rs. 2500 Crores in the Municipal Corporations. This House strongly condemns this scam and recommends that the enquiry of this scam should be conducted by the Central Bureau of Investigation and exemplary punishment should be given to those found guilty.”

“The Legislative Assembly in its sitting held on 14.09.2020 resolves that: In the midst of a raging pandemic, there should be no eviction whatsoever, as such displacement will only exacerbate the prevailing situation and put at risk the lives, health, safety and security of the lakhs of inhabitants of the JJ clusters in peril. Prior Rehabilitation must precede any attempts at eviction of these residents or demolition of their houses. This is the minimum guarantee held out by our Constitution, especially Article 21. All authorities and agencies whether of the central government or the state government must work in unison and in tandem to ensure that the interests of the residents of 48,000 households is given the due protection in accordance with law.”
