The power struggle over Delhi intensifies

 

The power struggle over Delhi intensifies, the Aam Aadmi Party government has put up posters asking Prime Minister Narendra Modi to let it function in the national capital.
"Prime Minister Sir, Please! Let the Delhi government work. The Delhi government is working well," the posters read.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's bigger fight is for Delhi to attain full statehood so the ruling party has control over the police, and is solely responsible for appointments of officials in the bureaucracy.

Arvind Kejriwal wrote a letterl to Lieutenant General Najeeb Jung, who represents the centre, blaming Modi for interfering in the work of the Delhi government.
This week, Kejriwal clashed with Delhi Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi over the recent stabbing of a 19-year-old girl in Anand Parbat market, and the failure of the police to ensure women's safety in the national capital.

Arvind Kejriwal also confronted Jung after he voided the appointment of Swati Maliwal as the chief of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on the grounds that his approval was never sought by the AAP government
