Terming Lieutenant-Governor (L-G) VK Saxena’s order to the Chief Secretary to conduct an enquiry as “politically motivated and unconstitutional”, the AAP on Tuesday said it is “yet another conspiracy” of the BJP to stop Arvind Kejriwal's “victory chariot” in poll-bound Gujarat.
In a series of tweets in Hindi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, "Gujarat is liking AAP's guarantee of giving free electricity. That's why the BJP wants to stop it in Delhi." Kejriwal said that he will "not allow this to happen under any circumstances".
Kejriwal further said, "People of Delhi, have faith. I will not let your free electricity stop under any circumstances. People of Gujarat, I assure you that if the Government is formed, your electricity will also be free from March 1." "You have imposed so much tax on everything. You have increased inflation and you are sucking people's blood. In such a situation, if I give some relief to my people by giving them free electricity, that too, will not be tolerated by you? Do you want to stop that too?" he said in the following tweet.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Siosida on Tuesday wrote to Saxena, accusing him of bypassing the elected Government in Delhi and ordering inquiries into its works in a "politically motivated and unconstitutional" manner.
He said the L-G has no power to issue orders on any matters concerning the Delhi Government except for land, police, and law and order. Stating that the L-G has been regularly ordering probes into decisions taken by the elected Government, Sisodia said these inquiries were "illegal and unconstitutional".
Nothing has come out of the probe into the "so-called" bus procurement scam, school scam, liquor scam, but it weakens the morale of officers, Sisodia said.
The AAP spokesperson, Saurabh Bharadwaj said the BJP has a huge conspiracy to stop Delhi’s free power scheme to stop AAP in Gujarat.
“BJP’s Central Government and L-G can play every trick in their book, but AAP is standing in front of them unfazed. BJP is doing whatever it can to stop Government services that are being provided to the common man,” said Bharadwaj.
