Moments after winning the power battle in the Supreme Court, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took to twitter and hailed the land mark judgment.
‘A big victory for the people of Delhi...a big victory for democracy...,’ the Chief Minister tweeted.
The post on the social media came after the top court said that the Lt Governor is the ‘titular head’ and that the real power must lies with the elected government.
Justice DY Chandrachud in his separate but concurrent verdict said LG must realise that council of ministers are answerable to people.
LG can refer issues on difference of opinion to President only in exceptional matters and not as general rule, the Supreme Court said.
‘LG must work harmoniously with council of ministers and attempt should be made to settle difference of opinion with discussions,’ the apex court added.
