NEW DELHI:
Caught in the crossfire between Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, top bureaucrats today wondered whose orders they should follow even as the AAP Government asked them to discharge their duties in line with constitutional provisions, without any fear or apprehension.
At a nearly three-hour-long meeting chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, a number of bureaucrats talked about the difficulties being faced by them due to the ongoing confrontation between the AAP Government and Jung.
Kejriwal, who attended the meeting briefly, asked the officials to work according to provisions of the Constitution and without any fear or apprehension.
A number of officials spoke about their “confusion” as the relationship between AAP Government and LG deteriorated further in the past few days. They said it was important to maintain a working relationship between the two sides.
Sources said Sisodia assured the bureaucrats that a detailed guideline will be issued soon on dealing with various issues, particularly those where LG’s office has a role to play.
Transport Minister Gopal Rai, who also looks after the General Administration Department, was also present in the meeting besides acting Chief Secretary Shakuntala Gamlin. (AGENCIES)
