Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal accused Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena on Saturday of trying to “forcibly” prevent the city government from presenting its views before the Supreme Court in the MCD mayoral poll case, a day after the top court said aldermen cannot vote in the election. He also recommended to Lt Governor V K Saxena that the mayoral election be held on February 22.
Addressing a press conference, Kejriwal alleged that the LG tried to “interfere in the administration of justice” and committed “contempt of court”. No reaction was immediately available from the LG’s office to the claims and allegations made by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader.
