Lt Governor Points Out Civic Issues In Delhi, Alleges "Inaction" By AAP

Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena today shared pictures on social media, alleging that people in several areas of the national capital have been facing civic challenges.

"Complaints about lack of public facilities are being continuously received from every part of Delhi. Yesterday, I went to JJ Cluster, Sanjay Colony, Okhla and saw the ground reality. A more vivid example of inaction and insensitivity cannot be seen," he said tagging Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the post on X - earlier known as Twitter.

The pictures shared by Mr Saxena showed potholes, clogged drains and heaps of garbage in the areas.

Mr Saxena had earlier this week shared pictures from Qalandar colony in Shahadra and Sangam Vihar highlighting the bad condition of roads, sewers and open garbage disposal.

He said that the concerned departments and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) are under the Delhi government. "All the concerned departments--I&FC, Water Board, Urban Development, DSIIDC are completely under the Delhi Government and MCD is also under you. I saw a similar situation in Kirari and Burari also," he said.

Hitting back, Arvind Kejriwal said that the work Mr Saxena was doing should have been done by the Opposition in Delhi (BJP). 

"The work you are doing should have been done by the opposition. It is the job of the opposition to point out the shortcomings of the ruling party. Unfortunately, today all the seven MPs of the opposition, i.e., the BJP, are busy retiring from politics and the eight MLAs are fast asleep. This is the reason why power in Delhi has been away from the BJP for the last 26 years. Therefore, you are forced to play the role of opposition despite holding the constitutional post of LG," Mr Kejriwal said.

    
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alleged that the Lieutenant Governor was playing "dirty politics". "He should stop playing dirty politics. People are not fools, they can see through the Lieutenant Governor's drama," the party said.
