L-G Saxena criticizes Kejriwal over neglect of basic civic issues
Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Monday wrote to former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, expressing concern over several issues affecting the residents of the city.
In banter on Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Governor Arif Mohammed Khan said here on Thursday that the suitable job for him was running a theatre company.
Speaking to media persons in Thrissur, the governor said, “He (the chief minister), on the one hand, directs SFI workers to organise protests against me, while on the other, directs the Kerala Police to provide protection to me. It would be better for him if he starts a theatre company.”

The SFI workers protested against him on Wednesday too when he attended a convocation ceremony of the Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS) in Thrissur resulting in the arrest of more than 50 SFI activists.
