The L-G alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government lacks the “sense of responsibility” and had it worked properly in its tenure, they would not have been required to launch an extensive drive for the city’s beautification.

“They run the government through Twitter (now X), Facebook and press conferences. They have to come on the ground if they want to work,” the L-G said during an interview with The Hindu.

“Had they worked properly in the past eight-nine years, we would not have had to launch an extensive drive to beautify the city. The face of Delhi would have been completely different,” he added.

Mr. Saxena alleged that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Ministers never turned up for the meetings called for G-20 Summit preparations after their first interaction in November last year.

“We discussed various plans and projects but nobody ever turned up for meetings after that. They lack the sense of ownership and responsibility,” he said.

Mr. Saxena also denied that he wants credit for the works undertaken in the run-up to the Summit.
