The Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, questioned whether the government was planning to use an ordinance to overturn a recent Supreme Court ruling. Kejriwal asked on Twitter why the Lieutenant Governor (LG) had not obeyed the court’s order, and whether the government was conspiring to reverse it. The LG had sent a letter to Kejriwal claiming that the government was being unconstitutional and disregarding rules and procedures. The Delhi cabinet ministers met with the LG regarding the issue of transferring the services secretary, which the government alleges the LG has yet to approve. The former services secretary has accused a minister of having personal vengeance against him, which the minister denies.
