Arvind Kejriwal on LG: There was a lot of uproar during the discussion on the second day of the Delhi Assembly session. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal fiercely attacked Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena during his speech in the House. He said that ‘I want to give the same good education to every child in Delhi as I have given to my children’ (Harshita and Pulkit). In the House, Kejriwal says, “My master did not check my homework like the LG sir checks the file. I am the elected Chief Minister, two crore people of Delhi have elected and sent me. Who are you”?
CM Kejriwal lashed out at the Lieutenant Governor for sending teachers abroad (Finland). He says that 2 crore people living in Delhi are our family. I consider the children living in these families as my children. To increase the level of education, we have fixed the infrastructure of the schools. We have been sending teachers for training abroad to enhance their capacity.
Targeting the Lieutenant Governor, Arvind Kejriwal says in the House, “If the elected government has no power, then why was the freedom struggle fought at all? That’s why the Viceroy will go and the LG will come. We will give whatever sacrifices have to be made to save the democracy and freedom of the country. Kejriwal further said, “Unfortunately, BJP’s friends are not present in the House. This discussion is happening in the country about whether the elected government should run or a particular person should run. He says, “LG blocks our file. They don’t have any power, they don’t have the right to decide. No logic of the Lieutenant Governor is understood.
Targeting further, the Chief Minister of Delhi says, “I asked which law it is written that you can get ‘Cost-Benefit Analysis’ done? There was no answer, I again asked him how to appoint Aldermen. It is said that I am the Administrator. I showed the 2019 SC Order that where Administrator is written, the elected government will run there too.
Kejriwal further asked – who is this LG? Who came and sat on our heads. Now they will decide where to teach the children. The mindset of “poor children will not be allowed to get good education” is still there. The country is behind such feudalistic thinking.
Arvind Kejriwal says that time is very powerful. Nothing is permanent. Today there is my government, tomorrow it will not be there. Today it’s their government in the center, tomorrow it will change. Tomorrow, God willing, we will have our government in the center, our LG in Delhi, and whether the government in Delhi is of BJP or Congress, but our LG will not bother anyone.
