New Delhi :-A letter issued by lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung’s office declares that Mr. Jung is meant to function as the “government” of Delhi to which the Chief Minister Mr. Arvind Kejriwal shows his dissatisfaction. Mr. Najeeb Jung says Delhi does not have the status of a full state and important functions are controlled by the Centre through lieutenant Governor.
The letter to cancel the appointment of the new head of the Delhi Commission for Women, Swati Maliwal – says the “constitutionally valid and consistent definition of ‘Government’ is the Lieutenant Governor” and Mr Kejriwal cannot appoint the DCW head without his sanction.
Aam Aadmi Party’s leader Navin Jaihind’s wife Mrs. Swati Maliwal took charge on Monday and had said earlier today about her appointment being cancelled, “I have no official communication so I can’t talk about it. I am doing my work. The Delhi Government has appointed me and if the Delhi Government takes back the appointment, I will abide by it.”
AAP rejects allegations and says that they have selected the best suited person for the post as she serves as an advisor to Mr. Kejriwal on public grievances and handled his Janta Samwad or interaction with the people.
