Kejriwal drama continues in New Delhi

It's a usual type of war that is not new to Delhi's political scene. Anyhow, the most recent conflict between Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung is uncommonly boorish, with both sides charging one another - through media articulations - of naughty conduct.At the heart of the fight is IAS officer Shakuntala Gamlin, who was designated yesterday as Acting Chief Secretary - the senior-most civil servant in the Delhi government. Her posting was cleared by the Lieutenant Governor. Mr Kejriwal charges that this is managerial over-compass for the Lieutenant Governor.

"Recently, the BJP through Delhi's L-G is in a roundabout way attempting to run the Delhi government... such an administration which has got an exceptional order... the Chief Minister was overlooked, the Cabinet was disregarded," Deputy Chief Minister and senior AAP pioneer Manish Sisodia said.The Kejriwal government additionally asserts that in a posting with the Power division, Ms Gamlin conflicted with open enthusiasm to support power organizations who Mr Kejriwal has over and again blamed for fleecing people in general with expanded costs for power. The Delhi government's charges against Ms Gamlin, recorded in a media explanation discharged yesterday, said, "She was seen to be greatly near to power organizations in Delhi and was campaigning for their hobbies inside of the Government."

Mr Jung, as Lieutenant Governor, goes about as the delegate of the union government in the capital. In his reaction, he counters Mr Kejriwal's allegations and says, "There was nothing on record submitted to the Lt. Senator that showed that the administration had anything against Ms. Gamlin and the Lt. Senator laments the name of a senior officer being acquired open space in such a way, that too a woman officer and one having a place with the North East." Ms Gamlin has whined in keeping in touch with the Lieutenant Governor that she was influenced by the Delhi government to withdraw from the rundown of contenders for the position of Chief Secretary. Mr Kejriwal has fight or silent grudge with Mr Jung since his first term as Chief Minister in 2014; he has blamed the Lieutenant Governor for following up on the requests of the union government and the decision BJP as opposed to playing a non-divided part.
