After the Lok Sabha, the Delhi Municipal Corporation Amendment Bill 2022 has also been passed in the Rajya Sabha by voice vote. This amendment bill was passed in the Lok Sabha on 30 March. Introducing the bill, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the Aam Aadmi Party has treated MCD with step-motherly treatment. Merger of MCD is necessary for smooth functioning of all the three sectors. He said that there are important places like Parliament House, Prime Minister’s residence and Embassy in Delhi, so it is necessary for the MCD to function smoothly.
Referring to the Arvind Kejriwal government of Delhi, he said that questions have been raised on the constitutional capacity to bring this law. Those who call us power hungry should see their own picture in the mirror.
