NEW DELHI: The national Capital has the "worst" kind of governance model, which has been further complicated by the involvement of multiple agencies of the Centre, Delhi government and local bodies, leading to a "confusing: situation, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Friday.
Addressing a conclave at a conclave organised by PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry here, Sisodia said, "The governance is scattered among the Centre, Delhi government and the local bodies. There are a lot of governance-related disputes which makes the model of governance in Delhi the worst of its kind."
The Aam Aadmi Party-led government in Delhi continues to be involved in a tussle with the BJP-led central government and the office of the Lieutenant Governor over matters of governance, despite a Supreme Court order last month giving the state government executive powers in all the subjects except land, law and order and police.
"If you have to seek permission to hold an event, you will have to first determine which agency to approach. There should be clarity on issues of governance otherwise the state becomes weak," Sisodia said.
The Deputy CM added that "confusion in matters of governance leads to a confused state of mind, which is not good for the stakeholders including the industry and business." Businesses require a strong state to prosper, he added.
