Delhi Chief Minister Atishi responds to Lieutenant Governor's criticism, accuses office of working as BJP "proxy".
Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Monday (December 30, 2024) hit back at Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena, who had expressed concern over Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal labelling her a "temporary Chief Minister", and alleged his office was working as a BJP "proxy".
She also asserted that Mr. Kejriwal was Delhi's "tallest leader".
In a letter to the Chief Cinister, Mr. Saxena praised Ms. Atishi while expressing concern that Mr. Kejriwal had labelled her a "temporary Chief Minister".
He also called it a "flagrant disregard for the democratic spirit and values enshrined in the Constitution".
In reply, Mr. Atishi said Mr. Saxena should let go of "petty politics" and instead focus on fostering collaboration and enabling the government to fulfil its promises to the people.
"Obstruction of the 'Mahila Samman Yojana' is a clear testimony of politicisation of the lieutenant governor's office. As a woman, I am personally anguished by your recent steps to malign and create hurdles for this scheme," she charged.
Mr. Atishi questioned how anyone could be so caught up in politics that they did not care for the people.
