New Delhi: Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia Wednesday said that the Lieutenant Governor is acting like a “tribal chieftain to appease his big boss” by “interfering” in an elected government’s work. Sisodia said that while oppressing the people of Delhi, the L-G has forgotten that his job is not to obey the orders of his masters but to follow the statutes of the constitution.
He said that by constantly bypassing the elected government, the L-G has insulted the constitution, threatened our democracy, and is in contempt of the constitutional bench of the Supreme Court. The LG has threatened to suspend and transfer officers to get his unlawful orders executed, and the appointment of the presiding officer of the MCD and Haj committee members in an unconstitutional manner, is a prime example of this.
Sisodia alleged that the LG is also working to please his Sardaar by torturing the people of Delhi. He has forgotten that his job is not to obey the orders of his Big Boss but to follow the rules of the constitution. The L-G has insulted the Constitution, threatened our democracy, and is in contempt of the constitutional bench of the Supreme court.
“The constitution gave the L-G the task of handling the Delhi Police, but he paid absolutely no attention to this responsibility. His sole task and achievement has been to bypass the government. A young woman is dragged 12 km in a car and brutally murdered by a BJP leader, but the LG does not have the audacity to stand up and say that the BJP leader did something wrong,” he said.
He further said that the L-G will remain busy talking about how CCTV cameras should not be installed in Delhi, Mohalla clinics should not be built, doorstep delivery should not be done as traffic will increase, yoga classes should be stopped, teachers should not go for training, Jal-Board should not be funded, and medical staff should be removed.
