Power structure well defined in Constitution: Law Minister

Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today said the power structure has been well defined in the Constitution and governance must be left to those elected to govern. <br/><br/>He said, off late, there has been great propensity of taking over governance by courts which need to be reflected upon. <br/><br/>Addressing a seminar on Good Governance, Development and Human Rights in New Delhi, Mr. Prasad said the governance and accountability go hand in hand and one can not take governance without taking accountability. <br/><br/>The Minister said the judiciary must set aside laws and orders which are unconstitutional and arbitrary and should make executive accountable, but legislation and governance must be left to those who are elected to discharge these functions. <br/><br/>The Minister said accountability, transparency and participation are three things which are important for good governance. <br/><br/>He also said, digital governance is more important to empower the people and NDA government has taken several measures in this direction. <br/><br/>Mr. Prasad, said the government has saved 58 thousand crore rupees pocketed earlier by middlemen, through the use of Direct Benefit Transfer in various schemes. <br/><br/>Three crore fake ration cards and 2.75 crore fake LPG gas connections have also been detected after seeding them with Aadhar Cards. <br/><br/>The Minister also informed that the government is proposing to link driving licence to Aadhar to check duplicacy.
