Even as the Delhi Services Bill sailed through the Rajya Sabha, clearing all legislative hurdles in the Parliament, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday expressed reservations on its ramifications on governance in the national capital, saying that it could potentially undermine the elected government's authority and facilitate an indirect central rule.

The AAP stressed that they were chosen by the people to serve them and cater to their interests. Following the passage of the contentious draft legislation to replace to the Centre's Ordinance on the control of services in the national capital, in the Rajya Sabha on Monday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hit out at Union Home Minister Amit Shah, claiming that the Bill was aimed at "ruling Delhi from the back door".
