He said that the Centre is basically introducing a Constitutional amendment without calling it that and asked that how can you do it?

While listing the reasons for calling Delhi ordinance bill ‘shameful’, Tharoor informed that there is a no confidence motion pending against the central government and then also they are bringing such a fundamental, substantive policy change.

Tharoor asserted that this Bill is really bad in law. “It is basically going to undo the principle of Parliamentary accountability because a minister will not be responsible for his officials anymore because the officials will actually outrank the minister and be able to overrule even the CM,” he said.

“It is a disastrous Bill and we oppose it very strongly,” Congress MP added.
