In New Delhi, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena expressed his disapproval in a letter to Chief Minister Atishi regarding Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal's comment calling her a "temporary Chief Minister." Saxena found the remark objectionable, stating it insulted Atishi, the President of India, and himself as her representative. He emphasized that such comments undermine constitutional values and the dignity of the office.
The LG highlighted the lack of constitutional basis for the term "temporary Chief Minister" and criticized it as a disregard for democratic values. He mentioned the challenges Atishi faces, such as the Yamuna's condition, water shortages, and infrastructure issues, and noted that responsibility for these now lies with her.
Saxena also addressed recent public notices warning against non-existent schemes from the former Chief Minister, appreciating the officers who clarified the facts. He expressed concern over the public discourse and wished Atishi a successful future, noting that his letter serves as a record of the current context.
Atishi became Chief Minister in September after Kejriwal's resignation following his release on bail related to the Delhi liquor policy case. Delhi's assembly elections are set for early next year.
