Delhi Government's Bid to Withdraw 7 Supreme Court Cases Criticized

The Delhi Government, currently led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has recently attempted to withdraw seven lawsuits filed against the Lieutenant Governor (L-G) during the rule of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The cases in question challenge the L-G's authority in the national capital, which has been a point of contention between the Delhi government and the L-G.

The Supreme Court, which has been considering the withdrawal request, has yet to reach a decision. BJP ruled the National Capital Territory of Delhi under the strict watch of L-G Venkaiah Naidu, a former BJP stalwart and minister in the Modi cabinet.

Critics see the move as an attempt to avoid accountability for their actions while in power. Withdrawing these cases will provide them with a convenient way to escape accountability for their governance track record. Others argue that this move signifies the BJP's attempt to consolidate power and weaken the opposition AAP, who filed the original cases.

As the Supreme Court weighs the implications of the withdrawal request, Delhi citizens await a decision that could dramatically impact the future of their democracy.
