Delhi is a special Union Territory. It has its own council of ministers, legislative assembly, Chief Minister and Lieutenant Governor. The election to the seats of the legislative assembly is done from the territorial constituencies of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. The politics of Delhi is jointly administered by the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi, and the Union Government of India. In the year 1993, the legislative assembly in Delhi was constituted again. Before this, a Delhi legislative assembly was a pre-1956 feature, when Delhi was not yet conferred with the status of UT. The civic administration of the city is handled by the Municipal Corporation of New Delhi, as a part of the Panchayati Raj act. However, the status of full statehood to Delhi is still in the realm of uncertainty, despite its ardent advocacy by prominent national-level political parties like INC and BJP.

New Delhi is the seat of political power of the Government of India, as well as the State Government of Delhi. Rashtrapati Bhavan, the Parliament of India and the Supreme Court of India are all in New Delhi. Delhi has seven Lok Sabha constituencies and 70 legislative assembly constituencies.

Indian National Congress, which is also called the Congress Party, has dominated the politics of Delhi. The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) came into power during the 1990's when Madan Lal Khurana was the leader of the BJP. But anyways, the Congress regained its power by winning the legislative elections in 1998, which it retained after the results of the 2003 legislative assembly elections of Delhi. Congress won the 2003 legislative elections of Delhi by a considerable margin. The present Chief Minister of Delhi is Sheila Dixit of the Congress Party. However, the Bhartiya Janata Party managed to salvage some pride by a victory over the Congress Party in the MCD elections, held in the year 2007. The National Capital Territory of Delhi has been divided into nine districts. A Deputy Commissioner heads each of the individual districts.

Each of these districts also have three sub-divisions. Each sub-division is headed by a Subdivision Magistrate. The Deputy Commissioners report to the Divisional Commissioner. The enforcement department for all the types of policies of the central as well as the state government is the District Administration of Delhi.

The Union Territory of Delhi has been selected for the Commonwealth Games, for the year 2010. This has given a positive impetus to a lot of developments and progress in the city, which includes constructing metro rail networks, flyovers, improving the quality of roads, repairing the street lights, keeping the city clean by maintaining strict discipline through inducing penalties, etc. However, the crime rate and road rage pervading in the capital are posing serious threats to the peace loving sections of its people. They need urgent and strict governance.
