Delhi and
Puducherry are the only
union territories of India, which have been given partial statehood according to the Seventh Schedule of the
Constitution in which Delhi is defined as
National Capital Territory of India or NCT-Delhi. Due to this
special right of partial statehood, unlike other union territories which are governed by special administrators appointed by the
President of India, governments of Delhi and Puducherry both are headed by their respective chief ministers and
Lieutenant Governors, appointed by the president acting as the
head of state.
