Plea seeks more ministers for Capital

A PIL challenging the constitutional cap on the number of ministers in the Delhi government has been moved before the Delhi High Court, urging the court to bring the capital's Council of Ministers at par with other states under Article 164(1) of the Constitution.

The petitioner asserts that the limited ministerial strength of the national capital currently restricted to just seven stands in stark contrast to the administrative demands of the territory, which encompasses 38 ministries and a 70-member Legislative Assembly.

The plea, filed by Aakash Goel through Advocate Kumar Utkarsh, contends that this imbalance is obstructing governance and violating the core constitutional values of federalism and democracy.
