NCP crisis shifts to Delhi; Sharad Pawar, Supriya Sule to get into a huddle
This development comes after the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led party earlier called off the protest as it had approached the Supreme Court over the matter. The party had then said that the matter was sub judice.
However, the party did not give a reason as to why the protest was revived.
On May 19, the Centre put the ordinance to create an authority for the transfer and posting of Group-A officers in Delhi into effect, with the AAP government calling the move a deception with the Supreme Court verdict on control of services.
The ordinance comes a week after the Supreme Court handed over the control of services in Delhi, excluding police, public order and land, to the elected government. It has set up a National Capital Civil Service Authority for the transfer of and disciplinary proceedings of Group A officers.
