Arvind Kejriwal writes letter to PM Modi, says Centre trying to run Delhi through LG Najeeb Jung

Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has written a letter to PM Narendra Modi over the issue of transfer of bureaucrats in Delhi.
In the letter, Kejrival has said that the Centre is trying to run Delhi through lieutenant-governor Najeeb Jung.
In the letter, Kejriwal mentioned the posting and transfers made by LG Najeeb Jung and said the elected government must have a say about distribution of work to senior officials.

“In Delhi, the central government is trying to run government unconstitutionally through the LG. Let Delhi government function independently,” Kejriwal said in the letter to Modi.

Earlier in the day, Deputy CM Manish Sisodia met senior bureaucrats at Delhi Secretariat to discuss flow of work.

A power tussle between chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and lieutenant-governor Najeeb Jung has led to confusion among state government officials.

Minister Gopal Rai, acting chief secretary Shakuntala Gamlin and all departments’ secretaries and officers were present in the meeting.
