Amid row over appointment of new acting Chief Secretary of Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday sought opinion of Delhities through social media.
Accusing senior bureaucrat Shakuntala Gamlin of “being close” to power companies, Kejriwal asked if an officer close to corporate should be given top bureaucratic post in Delhi Government.
He also asked if a Chief Minister elected by the citizens of the city should have right of selection of officer or not.
lt Governor Najeeb Jung and the Chief Minister are at loggerhead after l-G on Friday gave the additional charge of Chief Secretary to Gamlin, a 1984-batch IAS officer.
The move came hours after she wrote a scathing letter to Jung claiming that she was pressurised by a senior bureaucrat in CM's office not to be in race for the post due to her alleged proximity to BSES discoms.
