New Delhi: A day after Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal listed out the achievements of the city government during the ongoing Budget Session, AAP MLAs on Saturday accused him of creating hurdles and restricting works laid out by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. During a discussion on the Motion of Thanks on Baijal’s address, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Rakhi Birla said the Lieutenant Governor in his address listed out the achievements of the government, “but he is the same Lieutenant Governor who did not approve the CCTV files”. “He was the same who sat on the files of mohalla clinics,” Birla, who is also the Deputy Speaker of Delhi Legislative Assembly, said. “We could do more work with the support of the LG. On the contrary, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Vijendar Gupta during the discussion, said the Lieutenant Governor was standing as if “he was forced to speak whatever the government had asked him to”.
