Questioned President's decision, LG VK Saxena wants to take control of Delhi: Saurabh Bhardwaj



After President Draupadi Murmu gave Delhi LG VK Saxena the power to form boards and panels and appoint members in the national capital, AAP leader and minister Saurabh Bhardwaj on Wednesday alleged that the BJP wants to take control of Delhi through the backdoor. The AAP leader said LG Saxena is gaining more and more power but when it comes to his responsibility and accountability, he is not working.

"When it comes to his responsibility and accountability, LG sahab is not working. Thousands of doctors have to be recruited. Posts have to be created in hospitals. Thousands of poor bus marshals have become unemployed. LG sahab has stopped all this. And when it comes to gaining powers, he is taking more and more powers. Why is he taking them? So that he can misuse the powers," the AAP leader told ANI. Bhardwaj alleged that the central government wants the entire national capital to be run by the LG.

They are hiring a social media company for Rs 1.5 crore annually to become famous through social media influencers. The powers of the elected government are being taken away and powers are being given to the appointed ones. "As far as the central government is concerned, they want the entire Delhi to be run by the LG. Because the BJP is not able to win elections," the AAP leader said. Therefore, the BJP wants to take control of Delhi through the back door, but it will not happen." The Home Ministry said this comes after President Murmu delegated powers to Lieutenant Governor (LG) Vinay Kumar Saxena to constitute and appoint members of any authority, board, commission or statutory body under any law passed by Parliament which applies to the national capital.

In pursuance of clause (1) of Article 239 of the Constitution read with section 45D of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991 (1 of 1992), the President hereby directs that the Lieutenant Governor of the National Capital Territory of Delhi shall, subject to the control of the President and until further orders, exercise such powers as may be prescribed by law for the constitution of any authority, board, commission or statutory body, by whatever name called, or for the appointment of any Government officer or ex officio member to such authority, board, commission or statutory body, under clause (a) of section 45D of the said Act, the gazette notification issued by the Home Ministry on Tuesday said. Will exercise the powers of the President.
