Delhi LG Vs AAP Govt: The Eternal Battle
The fight between the Delhi LG and the current AAP government is not new and has been going on since the time of former LG Anil Baijal. The two continue to accuse each other of obstructing the legislature.
Earlier in September, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia claimed that he had been “falsely defamed” as his name was not included in the original chargesheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with Delhi’s liquor policy case. Sisodia said the BJP had developed a liquor scam story and raided his residence, ANI reported.
Delhi Governor V.K. Demanding Saxena’s resignation, Sisodia said, “It is clear from CBI’s plea that Manish Sisodia was falsely defamed. BJP has spread false information against Delhi government through LG and CS. CBI has given Manish a clean win. Sisodia.”
