The Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2022 is scheduled for consideration and passage in the Lok Sabha today. The bill aims at reunifying the three municipal bodies in Delhi, which were trifurcated in 2012 by the then Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit. Terming it unconstitutional, the AAP has alleged that the move was purposed to delay the civic polls in the city-state as the BJP was afraid of losing this time.
Meanwhile, the Centre is likely to table the Constitution (Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) Orders (Amendment) Bill, 2022 for consideration and passage today.
