The Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee is against the Central government’s move to control the Delhi government. The order was issued by the Finance Department of the Delhi Government, not by the Lieutenant-Governor of Delhi. The Delhi government has promised to transfer Rs 2,500 to the accounts of women, but the order has not yet been implemented, the Congress said. The Congress said that the order is an attempt to ‘control the government through the officials of the Prime Minister’s Office, rather than the people of Delhi’ The order has been issued at the behest of the Chief Minister of Delhi, who has the power to grant permission for schemes costing more than Rs 100,000. The move has been criticised by the Congress as ‘unconstitutional’ and ‘un-Indian’ The move is seen as an attempt by the Centre to ‘run the government’ through the PMO, which the Congress says is a violation of the Indian constitution. The decision to grant the permission to the PM to spend money on schemes of this kind has been made at the request of the Congress, which has the right to make such a decision, according to the Constitution.
