Full statehood upon Delhi

Since Delhi has been granted the status of a state in 1992, the demand for
extending the current status to full statehood has been voiced repeatedly. While
other states enjoy full authority in all matters of government and administration,
the Delhi government has no jurisdiction on: Police, Public law and order, Land.
Other than these crucial functions, there are several other civil organisations of
government that are under the central control and the Delhi government has
little say in crucial matters pertaining to them.
Delhi being a capital city enjoys the highest subsidy from the centre over any
other state. Since it is not possible for the Central government to come under a
state governments administrative jurisdiction, it automatically means that Delhi
has to be bifurcated if one part of it is to receive full statehood. There is no way
any Central government will allow a state to control its offices, establishments,
cantonments and services. And it will not be just geographical bifurcation, but
bifurcation of all the services provided to the citizens of united Delhi: the police,
land development authority, waterworks, everything. This will result in an even
more cautious approach towards conferring full statehood upon Delhi.
