Is centre 'Conspiring' to overturn SC order on services matters, asks Kejriwal

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asked on Friday whether the Centre was “conspiring” to reverse through an ordinance the Supreme Court verdict giving the elected government executive powers in services matters.

The Delhi government was given executive power in services matters, including transfer and posting of officers, in an important verdict by the Supreme Court last week. Delhi Services Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj also asked whether the lieutenant governor and the Centre were “conspiring” to reverse the verdict by bringing in an ordinance.

Addressing a press conference, the minister and AAP leader said he requested all his cabinet colleagues to join him for a meeting with Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena to request him to clear the file pertaining to the transfer of Services Secretary Ashish More. Later in a tweet, Kejriwal reiterated Bharadwaj’s charge.
