The Rajya Sabha on Wednesday cleared a controversial proposed law to give more powers to Delhi's Lieutenant Governor (L-G), a representative of the Centre. The Bill is said to undermine the elected Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi. Several parties—including the Indian National Congress, Biju Janata Dal, Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party, and Samajwadi Party—opposed the Bill and staged a walkout.
