Kejriwal has no scruples in deserting Delhi

CM’s power and responsibilities abdicated over to SisodiaDelhi on the way of becoming II Class city

Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta  today said that the Chief Minister who took oath on the 14 February last year that he will serve Delhi for the next five years and asked forgiveness of Delhites for  deserting them as CM in his last term, has shown no scruples in deserting them to fulfill his national level political ambitions.  He has abnegated the responsibilities as the Chief Minister of Delhi and handed them over to his deputy Manish Sisodia. It has been done to make himself free to realize his political ambitions at national level. In pursuance of his ambitions, he is focusing on Punjab, Goa and Gujrat to begin with where elections are to be held in near future.  

Mr. Gupta said that Delhites had voted him to power to govern Delhi.  Now they feel cheated when they find Sisodia in his place running the City.  His desertation of Delhi has proved costly for Delhi’s growth and development.  The conditions of roads, hospitals and schools are highly deplorable.  If this continues, the time is not far away when Delhi becomes a second class city.

Delhi’s Chief Minister, said Mr. Gupta, occupies a unique distinction of not having any Ministry with him.  No other CM in the country has this enviable position.  Whereas other CMs want to keep maximum ministries with them so that could give proper direction to the Government, Kejriwal chose to keep himself free from all ministries or departments.

The recent advertisements and hoardings having photograph of Sisodia prove that Kejriwal has abdicated his responsibilities and power to Sisodia. Mr. Gupta charged that he has passed on his signing power to his deputy.  He is empowered to sign all files.  Even the projects involving high costs are cleared by him.  He takes decision with regard to policy matters.
