The Lieutenant Governor’s office on Tuesday said that the Lt Governor in his communication with the Chief Minister has never been “abusive”.
“On the contrary, even in matters of extreme breach of properiety or blatant verbal misconduct on part of the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, his Ministers and members of AAP, the Lieutenant Governor has ignored and refrained from any comment.
It may be noted that it took the Delhi High Court to reprimand and restrain them from being abusive towards Lieutenant Governor,” Raj Niwas said in a statement on Tuesday.
This statement came after the press conference, Kejriwal said by “abusing” Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, he was insulting the mandate of two crore people of Delhi.
The statement further stated that even in matters of procedural impropriety, deliberate lapses and apparent misdemenour in matters of governance affecting the people of Delhi, the LG has conveyed his views in writing, in a most dignified, proper and parliamentary language.
“His choice of words even in conveying his displeasure or non concurrence over valid issues of concern to the people of Delhi has been more than civil and proper. It is unfortunate that an issue is being tried to be manufactured with the help of pre decided planted questions through the media, where non exist”.
“This is obviously an attempt to deflect people's attention from real issues that have recently come to the fore and should be avoided by the Chief Minister. It will do the people of Delhi, a lot of good if the Chief Minister and his government followed the advice/directions given to Chief Minister by the Lt Governor, in a fully constitutionally valid manner and in unquestionably dignified, civil and proper language,” reads the statement.
