"Arvind Kejriwal's arrest is a political conspiracy to topple his government. We have learnt from reliable sources that in the coming days, the President's Rule will be imposed in Delhi. But imposing President's Rule in Delhi will be illegal and against the mandate of people," she said. The Minister said that in the last few months, no senior IAS officer has been posted in Delhi.

"Posts are lying vacant in Departments but no postings have taken place. Bureaucrats have stopped attending meetings called by Ministers, citing the Model Code of Conduct. The Lieutenant Governor has been writing letters to the Ministry of Home Affairs over the functioning of the Delhi government," she charged.
