In some fresh attacks on the Prime Minister, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted this morning saying, "Modiji is hell bent on destroying Delhi thro LG". This comes on the heels of the recent transfer of officers by Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, who represents the centre in Delhi. “Today, several officers transferred by LG directly. Files not even shown to CM or any minister. Is this Modi model of democracy?” asked Kejriwal in a tweet posted early Tuesday morning. The chief minister said the L-G transferred the officers despite deputy CM Manish Sisodia’s repeated requests not to do the same till March 31. Last week, Kejriwal had claimed the Lt. Governor and the Centre wanted to 'reverse' numerous decisions of public importance, including the decision to increase minimum wages and holding discoms accountable for unscheduled outages, among other measures.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has also alleged that the Lieutenant Governor is behaving like a 'king' and is interested in spreading dictatorship in the national capital. Jung has replaced Health secretary Tarun Seem with IAS officer Chandrakar Bharti while Ashwani Kumar has been appointed as new PWD Secretary in place of non-IAS cadre office Sarvagya Srivastava. In the wake of the HC order that stamped the primacy of the LG in the city administration, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had requested Jung not to transfer Seem and Srivastava as they were handling flagship projects, setting up of mohalla clinics and construction of new school buildings, of the Kejriwal government.
