Prez forwards BJP complaint about AAP govt violating Constitution to MHA: Vijender Gupta – Times of India
NEW DELHI: A memorandum submitted by BJP MPs to President Droupadi Murmu, seeking the resignation of the MONKEY government has been referred to the Ministry of the Interior for alleged violation of the Constitution, Leader of the opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta said on Monday. The Delhi government’s failure to constitute the 6th Delhi Finance Commission and take action on the CAG report is a “violation of the Constitution,” Gupta alleged in a statement.
A delegation of BJP MPs met the President on August 30 and submitted a memorandum urging her for “urgent intervention” in the “constitutional crisis plaguing Delhi” following the jailing of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
“The President has taken cognizance of the memorandum and forwarded it to the Minister of Home Affairs for appropriate attention,” Gupta said, sharing a letter from the President’s Secretariat.
Gupta said he has urged the home minister to take “immediate and appropriate action” in the matter.
Earlier, Gupta had said the “paralysis of governance” in Delhi was caused by the chief minister being in jail for over four months on serious corruption charges.
“Kejriwal has refused to step down, which has created an unprecedented situation leading to a complete breakdown of governance in Delhi. Critical administrative decisions are being delayed and essential services are being severely affected, directly impacting the lives of the citizens of Delhi,” he had said.
The Delhi Chief Minister has been in judicial custody since his arrest on March 21 in the excise policy case.
