Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday used Twitter to slam Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal for deaths due to cold in the national capital.

Kejriwal said LG Anil Baijal did not discuss with the government before appointing the CEO of Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB), which takes care of night-shelters for the homeless in the city.

In his Tweet, Kejriwal Said, “Media reporting 44 deaths of homeless due to cold. Am issuing a show-cause notice to CEO, DUSIB. Negligible deaths last year. This year, LG appointed a useless officer. LG refuses to consult us before appointing officers. How do we run govt like this?”
