Is LG our ‘headmaster or principal’, asks Kejriwal

Lt Governor Najeen Jung
doesn’t have any power to check AAP government’s files, Delhi Chief Minister
Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said, wondering whether the LG is “our headmaster or
principal”.

He also sought to know who
has given LG the power to check files pertaining to his government’s works,
saying only people have this right and they can even throw him out of power.

“Whether we have
committed corruption, thefts or done several irregularities… who has given
him (LG) to check our files. Is he our headmaster or principal?

“Only people have right
to check our work and they can only throw us out (of the power). Will LG now
check whether CM has done a good homework or not,” Kejriwal said at a
programme ‘Agenda Aaj Tak’.

His remarks come after when
he was asked about files pertaining to his government’s decisions and alleged
irregularities being checked by the LG.

Last month, the Shangulu
Committee formed by the LG to examine 400 files pertaining to the AAP
government’s decisions, had submitted its report to Jung’s office.

Sources said the committee
has “pointed out violations of rules” by the AAP government in making
several decisions.
