Arvind Kejriwal meets SP chief Akhilesh Yadav
Ahead of the upcoming national election 2023, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal met Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow opposition leaders to find a way to work out a unity plan. The AAP is also looking for support in its fight against the centre over a recent ordinance on the control of bureaucrats.
During the meeting, Akhilesh Yadav assured the SP’s support to Delhi CM Kejriwal against the centre’s ordinance.
The AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) supremo, Kejriwal was accompanied by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who is also from the AAP, and Delhi Minister Atishi.
Mr Kejriwal has been reaching out to leaders of non-BJP parties to gather support against the centre’s ordinance on control of services in the national capital.
The AAP wants to ensure the centre’s bid to replace the ordinance with a bill is defeated when it is brought into parliament.
On May 19, the centre brought into effect the ordinance to create an authority for the transfer and posting of Group-A officers in Delhi, which the AAP government had called a deception with the Supreme Court verdict on control of services.
The ordinance came a week after the Supreme Court handed over the control of services in Delhi, excluding police, public order and land, to the elected government.
The centre seeks to set up a National Capital Civil Service Authority for the transfer of and disciplinary proceedings against Group-A officers from the DANICS cadre. DANICS refers to Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar, Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu, and Dadra and. Nagar Haveli Civil Services.
Transfer and postings of all officers of the Delhi government were under the executive control of the Lieutenant Governor before the Supreme Court’s May 11 verdict.
