How is governance structured in Delhi

Can governance in Delhi be better understood through an overview of its system?
In Delhi, governance is structured under a unique system where the elected government shares power with the Lieutenant Governor (LG) appointed by the central government. A brief overview of the governance system in Delhi includes the following points:
  • The Legislative Assembly of Delhi is responsible for making laws and policies for the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi.
  • The Chief Minister, who heads the elected government, along with the Council of Ministers, is responsible for executive functions.
  • The LG acts as the administrative head and has certain discretionary powers over key areas such as public order, police, and land.
  • Delhi also has three municipal corporations responsible for local governance.
Understanding this system is crucial to comprehend the dynamics and challenges of governance in Delhi.
