On May 11, the Supreme Court issued an order in favour of the Delhi government regarding the right to transfer civil servants. A week after this, the central government brought a new ordinance depriving the Delhi government of this right to transfer civil servants. To block the passage of this bill in Rajya Sabha, the Delhi CM has been continuously meeting the leaders of the opposition all over the country.

However, CM Kejriwal has not got the support of Congress against the Centre's ordinance so far. Recently, the Delhi Congress leaders at a meeting decided not to support the Delhi government on the ordinance issue.
