Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

CPI(M) Welcomes Supreme Court Judgment

 

A five member Constitution bench of the Supreme Court headed by the Chief
Justice has upheld the rights of the elected state governments and reversed
the decision of the Delhi High Court which had held that the Lieutenant
Governor was the "Administrative Head" of Delhi. The Supreme Court bench has
now correctly held that the Lieutenant Governor is bound by the advice of
the elected Council of Ministers of Delhi Government.

 

The role of the Lieutenant Governors and governors and the misuse of their
offices is  sharply focused in the today's judgment.

 

The BJP propagates charade of 'cooperative federalism' and in reality it is
destroying our federal structure. 

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) welcomes the judgment of the Supreme Court
bench. Governors and Lieutenant Governors cannot usurp the rights of an
elected state government or encroach upon their rights. This is a victory of
federalism.
