L-G still not ready to cooperate on issues related to services: Arvind Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said that Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal is ready to cooperate with Delhi government on all matters but not on services citing MHA notification.

"We met L-G and today, he is ready to cooperate with us. He has agreed that sending files is not required anymore, only the decisions will be made known to him. But he is not ready to cooperate on the matter of services....Supreme Court said that except three subjects, police, land and public order, Delhi government will have executive power on other subjects. LG does not agree that control of services should be handed over to Delhi government.," said Kejriwal.

The CM said that if this kind of situation continues, a situation of anarchy can emerge in the country.


"It is first time in history that central government is denying to obey the Supreme Court's order. If this continues, a situation of anarchy will prevail over the country," said the CM.

The CM also alleged that Centre is not letting the AAP government appoint a full-time education director.

"Whole India is talking about Delhi's education model. There is no full time director in Delhi's education department. Centre is not letting us appoint a full time director even after SC ruling," said Kejriwal.

Meanwhile, giving out details of decisions taken today by the Delhi government, Kejriwal said the government has ordered implementation of the stalled ration home delivery scheme as well as CCTV project.

Deputy CM Manish Sisodia said that the government has taken two big decisions today.

"We have taken two big decisions today - we have released the last installment for Signature Bridge and we have approved expansion of Delhi Technical University, where two new academic blocks will be built to facilitate education for 3,000 more students," said Sisodia.

The Supreme Court had yesterday ruled that L-G is bound by the advice of the Cabinet.
