The AAP said on Wednesday lieutenant-governor Najeeb Jung’s contention that the Centre did not do anything which could have led to a confrontation with the Delhi government was contrary to his actions that included stalling of several key projects of the Kejriwal dispensation.
Referring to a notification, dated May 21, 2015, AAP Delhi unit convenor Dilip Pandey said Mr Jung had termed as “unconstitutional” the chief minister’s order asking officers to send files directly to ministers. The notification had also said that the L-G was the sole authority in matters of ordering transfer and posting of bureaucrats.
“You (Mr Jung) are saying the Central government did not do anything to initiate any confrontation and it was the Kejriwal government which went to the court, but you are completely silent on the May 21, 2015, notification which took away many powers of the Delhi government. Why was this notification issued ” Mr Pandey asked.
The AAP leader asked why did Mr Jung reject the Delhi government’s plan to provide permanent jobs to 17,000 guest teachers and the proposal for starting premium bus service in Delhi.
“Is it not a fact that the notification for allowing bus lane service in Delhi to ease traffic congestion is pending with you since a long time ” Mr Pandey asked.
