New Delhi: Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal on Friday lashes out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi ans said that PM Modi is trying to run the government of Delhi through Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung.
He said it while reacting over the notification issued buy Ministry of Home Affairs which had been issued on Friday morning, backing the LG on transfer postings of bureaucrats.
He said, “The transfer-posting industry is worth crores of rupees. In the three months that we have been in power, we have closed down this industry. I have met so many people from the Centre on so many occasions. The LG has never inquired about the state of water and power supply but keeps asking for transfer and postings to be put in his charge. There is something very fishy about this.”
Kejriwal said that he had sought the opinion of experts on the issue after which the government would explore the options available to it. Meanwhile, he did add that transfer and posting did not come under services, an issue which is under the LG’s discretion.
The MHA notification also prohibits the Delhi anti-corruption branch from taking action against central officers, including Delhi Police. Kejriwal said that there is something wrong in trying to defend someone who has corruption charges against him/her.
He said, “The Centre wants us to turn away if we find a central government employee indulging in corruption.”
