New Delhi. Delhi Lieutenant Governor V.K. The controversy that started after Saxena's Rangpuri visit is not stopping. After the statement of Aam Aadmi Party national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Lieutenant Governor hit back at him by writing a letter. The Lieutenant Governor said that after 10 years, Kejriwal's eyes were opened on the plight of Delhi.

LG's sharp attack

Taking aim at Kejriwal, the Lieutenant Governor said that the same promptness with which steps were taken in the Rangpuri case should have been taken for areas like Kirari, Burari, Sangam Vihar, Gokulpuri, Mundka, Nangloi, Ranikheda and Kalandar Colony. Referring to the poor condition of government schools in Delhi, he said that in some schools, invisible teachers are teaching students of two classes in one room.

Issues have been raised for two and a half years

LG alleged that he has been appealing to solve the problems of Delhi for the last two and a half years. He requested to work on issues like increasing pollution in Yamuna, cleaning of Najafgarh drain, desilting of sewer lines, dilapidated roads, water shortage, delay in construction of hospitals and air pollution. The LG claimed that the pollution level in Yamuna has reached its highest level this year and held Kejriwal directly responsible for it.

accused of being absent from the tour

The LG also alleged that Kejriwal does not go to the ground himself to see the problems. He had asked the Chief Minister to accompany him on the Rangpuri and Kapashera tour, but instead of going himself, Kejriwal thought it appropriate to send Minister Atishi.

What did Kejriwal say?

However, Chief Minister Kejriwal rejected LG's allegations on this issue and said that his government is continuously working for the betterment of Delhi. He accused the LG of doing politics and creating hurdles in development works.
