Avinash, they are looking at Delhi not as a state but the Union Govt. which is responsible to pass the Disability Act. From that perspective they aren't wrong. However, there are state laws that impact them. The belief is the state law flows from the central law hence it is crucial that Central law get passed. The state govt. do not act on their own unless Centre has passed it, though technically nothing stops the states from doing their laws based on the UNCRPD or Delhi experiences for India as a nation is signatory to the UNCRPD and has ratified it too!
We are yet to see a dynamic state govt. that takes a lead and show mirror to the Union Govt. (smile)!
