The '''Legislative Assembly of the National Capital Territory of Delhi''', also known as the '''Delhi Vidhan Sabha''', is a [[unicameral]] law making body of the [[National Capital Territory of Delhi]], one of the eight [[union territory|union territories]] in [[India]]. It is situated in Delhi, NCT with 70 [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|Members of the Legislative Assembly]] (MLA).

The seat of assembly is the Old Secretariat building, which is also the seat of the [[Government of Delhi]].

==History==
The Delhi Legislative Assembly was first constituted on 7 March 1952 under the Government of Part C States Act, 1951; it was inaugurated by Home Minister [[K. N. Katju]]. The Assembly had 48 members, and a Council of Ministers in an advisory role to the Chief Commissioner of Delhi, though it also had powers to make laws. The first Council of Ministers was led by [[Chaudhary Brahm Prakash]], who became the first [[Chief Minister of Delhi]].<ref name=hist/><ref>{{cite web|title=Brahm Prakash: Delhi's first CM, ace parliamentarian |work=Hindustan Times |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/specials/coverage/myindia-myvote/chunk-ht-ui-myindiamyvote-delhi/brahm-prakash-delhi-s-first-cm-ace-parliamentarian/sp-article10-1127703.aspx |date=27 September 2013 |access-date=22 January 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140301071356/http://www.hindustantimes.com/specials/coverage/myindia-myvote/chunk-ht-ui-myindiamyvote-delhi/brahm-prakash-delhi-s-first-cm-ace-parliamentarian/sp-article10-1127703.aspx |archive-date=1 March 2014 }}</ref>

However, the [[States Reorganisation Commission]], set up in 1953, led to the Constitutional amendment through [[States Reorganisation Act, 1956]], which came into effect on 1 November 1956. This meant that Delhi was no longer a Part-C State and was made a [[Union Territory]] under the direct administration of the President of India. Also the Delhi Legislative Assembly and the Council of Ministers were abolished simultaneously. Subsequently, the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957 was enacted which led to the formation the Municipal Corporation.<ref name=hist/>

Then, in September 1966, with "The Delhi Administration Act, 1966", the assembly was replaced by the Delhi Metropolitan Council with 56 elected and five nominated members with the [[Lt. Governor of Delhi]] as its head. The Council however had no legislative powers, only an advisory role in the governance of Delhi. This set up functioned until 1990.<ref name=hist/><ref>{{cite web|title=Delhi Metropolitan Council(1966–1990)| url =http://delhiassembly.nic.in/metropoliton.htm|publisher=Delhi Legislative Assembly| access-date = 22 January 2014}}</ref>

This Council was finally replaced by the Delhi Legislative Assembly through the Constitution (Sixty-ninth Amendment) Act, 1991, followed by the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991 the Sixty-ninth Amendment to the [[Constitution of India]], which declared the Union Territory of Delhi to be formally known as [[National Capital Territory of Delhi]] and also supplements the constitutional provisions relating to the Legislative Assembly and the Council of Ministers and related matters.<ref>[http://indiacode.nic.in/coiweb/amend/amend69.htm THE CONSTITUTION (Sixty-ninth Amendment) Act, 1991]</ref> The Legislative Assembly is selected for period of five years, and presently it is the seventh assembly, which was selected through the [[2020 Delhi Legislative Assembly election|2020 Legislative Assembly election]].

== Delhi Legislative Elections ==

The election campaigns have played a critical role in determining the outcome of elections in Delhi. This is particularly evident in elections since 2000.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cppr.in/article/decoding-elections-largest-democracy-capital-city/|title=Decoding the elections in the largest democracy through its Capital City – Centre for Public Policy Research (CPPR)|date=8 February 2015}}</ref>

==Assembly building==
Originally built 1912, designed by E.

The building also housed in the Secretariat of the [[Government of India]], and was built after the capital of India shifted to Delhi from Calcutta, the temporary secretariat building was constructed in a few months' time in 1912, it functioned as the Secretariat for another decade, before the offices shifted to the present [[Secretariat Building, New Delhi|Secretariat Building]] on [[Raisina Hill]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Architectural marvels for the new capital|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/newdelhi/Architectural-marvels-for-the-new-capital/Article1-723169.aspx|work=Hindustan Times|date=20 July 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141102085932/http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/newdelhi/Architectural-marvels-for-the-new-capital/Article1-723169.aspx|archive-date=2 November 2014}}</ref>

In the 5th Assembly Elections held in 2013. Each of the parties failed to obtain a majority, but the BJP along with the Shiromani Akali Dal had a plurality so they were given a chance to form the government first. When they were unable to do so, the chance was given to Arvind Kejriwal who sent letters to both Congress and BJP about forming a coalition if they agreed on 18 points. Congress agreed on 16 of the 18 points and thus, AAP formed the government with outside support from Congress.
