Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Tuesday wrote a letter to Arvind Kejriwal and said in 11 years, he did not do anything for the welfare of the people of Delhi but now making fun of the efforts of a 10-month-old government. Nowadays, you are not coming forward yourself but putting party leaders in front. You yourself went and settled in Punjab,” he wrote in the matter to the AAP chief.

Saxena says Kejriwal responsible for pollution in Delhi

Saxena also said that Kejriwal is responsible for the pollution in Delhi and added that if he had done something in 11 years, the pollution situation in Delhi would not be this bad.


Saxena reminded Arvind Kejriwal of what he used to say about pollution. “When you were the CM and I talked to you about pollution, you used to say that this is a 15-20 day fuss. After that, the media will forget about it. The NGOs will also forget about it.”

VK Saxena said that Kejriwal only made big announcements and did no work. Saxena also added that Kejriwal cannot fool everyone all the time. “The same thing happened to you. The people of Delhi defeated you,” he said.

LG Saxena alleges Kejriwal blocked his phone number

Saxena also alleged that after losing the election, Arvind Kejriwal blocked his mobile number. He had called to wish him on Diwali, and that's when he found out that Kejriwal had blocked the LG's number.

However, there was no immediate reaction from AAP. In the 15-page letter, Saxena accused the AAP supremo of "unnecessarily bogging down" the 10-month BJP government, "which is trying to do everything possible to undo your wrongs, for petty political gains".

Kejriwal refused to learn from results, says Saxena

Saxena said despite a crushing defeat in the Delhi Assembly elections, Kejriwal and his party have refused to learn from the results, saying that the AAP continues to "indulge in petty politics and spreading lies over the critical issues concerning the people of Delhi".

"The inaction of AAP govt in the last 11 years is primarily responsible for such severe condition of air pollution in the national capital. All that Kejriwal government did was blaming the then Punjab government and the Government of India. It never cared to take any step to curb dust generation that is majorly responsible for air pollution in Delhi," the L-G wrote.

Saxena also alleged the AAP government discontinued the practice of holding weekly cabinet meetings. Key policy and administrative decisions were taken through circulation, leaving no room for any discussion or deliberation, he said, adding that this reflected the government's insensitivity towards the people of Delhi.
