Delhi Chief Secretary assault case: BJP MLAs meet Lt Governor, seek dismissal of AAP government
Anshu Prakash
The delegation was led by Delhi assembly's Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta
Delhi BJP MLAs met with Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal today and demanded the "dismissal" of the Arvind Kejriwal government.
The delegation, led by Delhi assembly's Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta, aimed at discussing the alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash.
During the meeting, Gupta alleged Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia of "complicit connivance" in the incident.
Delhi Chief Secretary, Anshu Prakash lodged an FIR with the Delhi alleging stating that he was assaulted by AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan and others during a meeting at Kejriwal's residence on Monday night.
The accused have been arrested by the police.
"The complaint of the chief secretary clearly states that no one tried to save him during the assault. This implies that the CM and the Deputy CM along with the MLAs were equally guilty of connivance in the offence," Gupta said in a statement.
"The BJP MLAs submitted before the L-G that the Kejriwal government had no right to continue in power and demanded its early dismissal," the statement said.
AAP leaders want to create an atmosphere of "fear" and "unquestioned compliance of dictates" in the mind of senior officers of IAS, Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar Islands Civil Services (DANICS) and Delhi Administrative Subordinate Services (DASS) cadres, Gupta alleged.
