Delhi LG VK Saxena gets new powers amid deadlock with CM Kejriwal |Know here

President Draupadi Murmu has delegated two new powers to Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena to make rules (where required) under the Industrial Relations Code 2020 and the Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code 2020 only in the areas of Delhi.

Referring to two separate notifications issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs on January 16, it has been directed that the Governor shall exercise the powers and discharge the functions of the State Government under these rules until further orders.

According to the notification, the Lieutenant Governors of five other Union Territories Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman Diu, Chandigarh, Puducherry and Lakshadweep will also discharge the powers given by the President. Citing Clause (1) of Article 239 of the Constitution, the President has given this direction.

What does the Industrial Relations Code 2020 say?

Under the Industrial Relations Code 2020, the appropriate government may, in public interest, exempt any new industrial establishment or class of establishments from the provisions of the Code. Notably, the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi has been given two new powers at a time when there is a huge difference of opinion between him and the Delhi government on many issues.

A situation of confrontation had developed even before the election of Delhi Mayor, between Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi’s LG. Arvind Kejriwal accused the LG of issuing orders bypassing the AAP government. At present, there is a deadlock between the two on issues like stopping teachers from sending them to Finland for training, and stopping funding of mohalla clinics.

CM Kejriwal alleges that the LG has withheld the file related to the training of teachers. He said that the LG is violating the order of the Supreme Court which states that the Lieutenant Governor has no authority to take decisions independently.
