- Aged DTC pensioners didn’t get pensions from Might to December 2023 as Finance Division withheld funds.
Arvind Kejriwal identified that since Providers and Vigilance is below the Lieutenant Governor’s management, the motion towards erring officers must be taken by him.
“When you do not take motion, it does increase a doubt in my thoughts whether or not these officers are performing below your directions. Actually, you haven’t even transferred a single officer primarily based on the request of the elected authorities of NCTD,” the Delhi Chief Minister stated.
Arvind Kejriwal added, “I’m compelled into questioning whether or not the work of the Delhi Authorities is being dropped at a standstill to provide a foul identify to the Aam Aadmi Occasion, and to advertise the pursuits of the BJP which is in energy within the central authorities that has appointed you.”
