Two major grounds might justify the imposition of President’s rule in Delhi. Firstly, if the federal government is deemed incapable of functioning by the Structure, whether or not in a union territory or a full state. Secondly, if the state authorities persistently fails to implement directives from the central authorities, thereby necessitating intervention.
Below Article 239 AA of the Structure, the Lieutenant Governor can suggest to the President the suspension of the federal government in Delhi. Moreover, beneath Article 239 AB, the Lieutenant Governor can attribute the breakdown of constitutional equipment as grounds for the imposition of the President’s rule.
Contemplating Delhi’s standing as a union territory, the function of the Lieutenant Governor turns into pivotal. Failure to resign by Kejriwal might immediate the Lieutenant Governor to quote a breakdown within the constitutional equipment. Consequently, Kejriwal could also be compelled to step down as Chief Minister.
Article 356 of the Structure permits for the imposition of President’s rule in any state if the constitutional equipment fails or faces vital challenges. With Kejriwal in custody and the Aam Aadmi Occasion’s management depleted, the Lieutenant Governor might transfer to impose President’s rule in Delhi.
