A row erupted after Education Minister Atitshi Marlena announced that CM Arvind Kejriwal would be inaugurating the Campus.
Reacting to AAP Minister, the LG office in an earlier note stated that it was beyond shocking that the Education Minister claimed and announced in an open press conference that CM Arvind Kejriwal would be inaugurating the Campus, knowing fully well that the same is to be done by the Lt Governor.
The office note further said that CM Kejriwal was aware that LG Saxena is scheduled to inaugurate the campus. In fact, they were also aware that they were supposed to be present at the function as Guest of Honour and Distinguished Guest, as desired by LG, and had also consented to it.
In fact, the Chief Minister had asked for the date to be shifted from 23.05.2023 to accommodate his schedule and accordingly, the date had been re-scheduled to 08.06.2023.
Delhi Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj on Wednesday questioned Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena’s motive behind the inauguration of the East Campus.
AAP leader said, “Police, Land and Public Order come under the Lieutenant Governor. He should inaugurate police stations, police headquarters, and the DDA sports complex. Education and higher education are state subjects, which fall in the domain of the elected government. Why is the L-G wanting to inaugurate it (east campus of GGSIPU)?”.
This report is filed by ANI news service.
