:”’A8:”’ To create an Indian state, the [[Parliament of India]] must pass a law to that effect—see Articles 2 through 4 of the [[Constitution of India]], full text [http://indiacode.nic.in/coiweb/welcome.html here]. The [[List of amendments of the Constitution of India|Sixty-ninth Amendment]], which was enacted in 1991, added Article 239AA to the constitution. It proclaimed the National Capital Territory of Delhi, gave it a legislative assembly, and accorded it special powers that most union territories lack. But Delhi was not made a state. Several crucial powers were retained by the central government, such as [[Delhi Police|responsibility for law and order]]. Delhi also does not have a governor; instead, a lieutenant governor presides. Unlike [[Himachal Pradesh]], which gained statehood in 1970, and [[Goa]], which gained it in 1987, Delhi continues to be listed as a union territory by the [[Constitution of India#Schedules|First Schedule]]. |
