New Delhi: In a fresh missive, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his ministers of running away from their constitutional duties and asked the AAP leader to accept his written communication as “Kartavya Patra (letter of duty) from the guardian of the city”.
Saxena’s response came two days after the chief minister said he had not received as many “love letters” from his wife “in entire life” as he had from the LG in just six months.
In a six-page letter written in Hindi, the lieutenant governor said that he has not received any “satisfactory reply” from the AAP government over issues related to excise policy, power subsidy and other matters raised by him.
“I hope you will treat this message from me in the true sense as a ‘Kartvya Patra’ from the guardian of Delhi, that you have been terming as ‘Prem Patra’, and try to imbibe and follow the intended feelings and suggestions in it,” Saxena said.
Amid an ongoing letter war between the two sides which are locked in a bitter tussle, LG, in the communication dated October 7, launched a scathing attack on the AAP government, saying its rule, based on “speeches and advertisement”, was alienated from basic works of public interest.
