The Hindu
“The LG has started a new trend of reversing decisions taken by the elected government of Delhi,” Manish Sisodia said at a press conference in New Delhi.
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on February 11 dubbed the removal of the Kejriwal dispensation-appointed members from discom boards by Lieutenant Governor V. K. Saxena as "unconstitutional and illegal".
“The LG has started a new trend of reversing decisions taken by the elected government of Delhi,” Mr. Sisodia said at a press conference in New Delhi.
The Deputy Chief Minister also rubbished the charges that the members appointed by the Arvind Kejriwal government provided benefits to the tune of ₹8,000 crore to the private discoms. “The LG can get the alleged “scam” investigated by any Central agency,” he added.
"A new trend has been started by the LG as he reversed the Delhi Cabinet's four-year-old decision and removed the members appointed to the boards of the discoms. This way, he could now upturn the government's decisions taken even four-10 years back," Mr. Sisodia said.
The Deputy Chief Minister, who also holds the charge of the Delhi Power Department, said Mr. Saxena's decision was "unconstitutional, illegal and contrary to the established procedures". Mr. Sisodia also objected to the LG's decision to remove the members citing "difference of opinion".
"The 'difference of opinion' provision cannot be used like this. There is a procedure to do so and it can not be cited to frequently reverse the decisions taken by the government," he said.
