Launching a scathing attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over an alleged assault incident of sitting Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal, the BJP on Wednesday questioned the "silence" of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor in the matter.
The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) had earlier alleged that the Delhi CM was intentionally eating mangoes and sweets, also drinking tea with sugar in jail to increase his sugar level, claiming that Kejriwal was doing this to create a ground for bail.
The Delhi CM also asked the chief secretary to read all tweets by the LG, and further advised him to obtain a detailed report from the LG office.
He urged people to give more power to the Delhi govt by electing all 7 candidates of INDIA bloc in Lok Sabha polls
Lashing out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the state of Yamuna, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shehzad Poonawalla said the ruling party had failed to deliver his promise of cleaning the river.
Describing it unconstitutional, the Delhi government in its petition has said that the ordinance takes away the power from an elected government and vests it in an unelected Lieutenant Governor – a Centre’s appointee.
The chief minister said that the lieutenant governor as an "outsider" should not insult "hardworking" people of Delhi.
"The ordinance comes out as a constitutional fraud on the people of Delhi, its elected representatives, and the Constitution," Supreme Court Justice (retired) Madan B Lokur writes, exposing the unconstitutionality of the Centre's ordinance," Kejriwal said in a tweet while sharing an excerpt from retired Supreme Court Justice Madan B Lokur's article.
The incident took place on June 24 inside the Pragati Maidan tunnel with a delivery agent and his associate in a cab.
The Kejriwal government has formulated and implemented 17 welfare schemes covering education, health, safety and pension for construction workers in the National Capital.
