Kejriwal challenges Centre's ordinance, seeks Opposition support.

The Centre's ordinance that nullified a recent Supreme Court order that handed over crucial powers to the Delhi government has drawn condemnation from Opposition parties across the board, with the Modi government accused of "bulldozing the Constitutional federal framework". The ordinance seeks to create a National Capital Civil Service Authority that will have the power to recommend the transfer and posting of officials serving in Delhi. The move was called a "direct assault" on the federal character of the Constitution and the norms of accountability and democratic governance as defined by the Supreme Court.
