There is often a demand to give full statehood to Jammu-Kashmir and Ladakh including the capital Delhi. But do you know what can change after giving full statehood status to these union territories? Today we will tell you what changes take place there and what changes take place in the administration when any state is given full statehood status.
full statehood
In the country’s politics, there is often a demand to give full statehood to Ladakh along with Delhi. A few months ago, the local people of Ladakh had come out on the streets in the harsh cold to protest demanding full statehood. Now the question is why do the people of a Union Territory demand full statehood. The AAP government of Delhi also always demands full statehood.
Union Territory status
To understand the issue of full statehood, let us take Delhi as an example. At present, under Article 239A of the Constitution, Delhi has been given the status of a ‘Union Territory’. The Lieutenant Governor has been designated as the Administrator of Delhi. In simple language, the Lieutenant Governor or Lieutenant Governor of Delhi is the constitutional head of the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
Under Article 239A of the Constitution, Delhi has been given the status of a Union Territory. Under this, the administrator will be the Lieutenant Governor and will work on behalf of the President. Now the Delhi government has the right to make laws on the State List and Concurrent List but the Delhi Assembly cannot make laws on people, land and police. This is completely the jurisdiction of the Center.
Not only this, the Lieutenant Governor will take decisions with the advice of the Chief Minister and the Cabinet, although it is not written anywhere that the LG is bound to accept the advice. Apart from this, if any kind of disagreement arises between the Lieutenant Governor and the ministers on any issue, then the Lieutenant Governor can send this matter to the President and that decision will be final.
Union Territory
Union Territory is also a unit. It is governed by the Central Government. However, the capital Delhi is an exception in some cases. In Union Territories, the Lieutenant Governor is appointed by the Central Government. At the same time, a Union Territory may or may not have an Assembly. For example, under the 69th Amendment to the Constitution, Act 1991, Delhi was given the status of National Capital Territory (NCT). Along with this, there is also a provision for the formation of an Assembly here. At the same time, there is an Assembly in Puducherry too. Let us tell you that Union Territories have to take approval from the Central Government for making special laws.
What will change if full statehood is granted?
After any state gets the status of a full state, the police and other state officials posted in that state work under that state government. Apart from this, the consent of the central government is not required to implement any law in the state. For this, the state leaders can propose and get the law passed in the assembly. At the same time, the Chief Minister of the state can also take decisions at his discretion like other states, he does not need to take permission from the Lieutenant Governor for every decision. Apart from this, even if the financial assistance from the center stops, it will not make much difference, because it will start getting money from the Finance Commission. That is why the state leaders demand full state status.
