Amid reports that his party may attempt to form the Government in the national Capital, BJP’s Delhi unit president Satish Upadhyay on Friday met lieutenant Governor (l-G), Najeeb Jung, at Raj Niwas. The meeting comes a day after Jung met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh for about 20 minutes and reportedly discussed various issues including the political situation in the national Capital. Upadhyay, however, clarified that the issue of Government formation “did not figure at all” during his 50-minute meeting with the lieutenant Governor (l-G). He said he took up with Jung the problems of guest schoolteachers and the issue of release of water to Delhi from Haryana.
The BJP president also submitted a memorandum to the l-G, in which the party demanded establishment of women police stations in every district and sensitisation of policemen. In the memorandum, the Delhi BJP chief also highlighted the cases of atrocities and harassment of students from the North-east and others being reported in the city. “Efforts need to be made to provide special protection to this section as they are providing lots of essential services in Delhi,” he added.
