While introducing the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023 in the Lok Sabha, seeking to replace the ordinance for control of services in Delhi, he said, "This ordinance refers to the order of the Supreme Court which says that the parliament has the right to make laws on any issue related to the National Capital Territory of Delhi. There are provisions in the constitution that allow the centre to make laws for Delhi."
"I appeal to parties to not support all the corruption taking place in Delhi just because you are in an alliance. Because despite the alliance, PM Modi will win the election with a full majority," Mr Shah said, baiting the Aam Aadmi Party which governs Delhi and is now part of the INDIA coalition.
The opposition should be concerned about Delhi and not their newly minted INDIA coalition, Union Home Minister Amit Shah charged on Thursday, as he vociferously defended the government's bill to override a Supreme Court order on who controls bureaucrats in the country's capital.
While entire opposition was critical of the bill, suggesting that it is an act to disturb the federal structure.
