GNCTD amendment bill 2021 is not very complex but AAP and BJP have a 180 degree difference of opinion on the very same bill.
here is what I understand —
India has three type of states:
1. full-state 2. UT 3. UT with assembly and limited powers [Delhi falls here, along with J&K, Puducherry]
This limited power is the reason why full-statehood has always been demanded in Delhi, but it has its own complications since the country's govt is also run from Delhi as well.
Therefore, full statehood dream has always been promised, never fulfilled.
the amendment has been made to the law of 1955. back in the day we we dependent on imports, now we have enough stock.
allowing stocking of these produces allows for better export planning and more players investing in storage facilities in supply chain (we lack them now)
even harshest critics of farm laws and present govt, praised ECA amendment 2020 and agreed that archaic laws of 1955 were irrelevant today.
the safety-net of restricting stocks if prices rise beyond certain limits has been put to prevent exactly what Delhi CM is saying.
