New Delhi : AAP on Friday said people of the national capital can knock Lt Governor’s doors if they have any issue with civic amenities as powers have now been vested in his hands even as it attacked Najeeb Jung over alleged inaction in CNG scam, DDCA case and an FIR filed against Reliance.
“From now onwards, I urge people that if they have any civic amenities issue related to power and water then they should go to the Lt Governor because after the High Court judgment all powers lie with him now. “We expect that all the work that the Delhi Government was doing for public good and our battle against corruption will now be carried forward by the LG with the same commitment and honesty with which it was performing,” AAP leader Ashutosh said.
In a huge setback for the Arvind Kejriwal government, the Delhi High Court on Wednesday held that the LG is the administrative head of National Capital Territory and the AAP dispensation’s contention that he is bound to act on the advice of Council of Ministers was “without substance”. Stressing that the party “humbly differs” with the High Court judgement, he questioned what would be role of Chief Minister, his Cabinet and the elected representatives in such a scenario.
“We hope to get justice in the Supreme Court the way it gave in the case of Arunachal Pradesh (reinstating the Congress government),” he said.
