Is L-G Trying to Protect a Corrupt System:Thakur Sisodia On Doorstep Services

[New Delhi] Is L-G Trying to Protect a Corrupt System:Thakur Sisodia On Doorstep Services
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia today renewed his attack on Lt Governor Anil Baijal, asking whether he was “trying to protect a corrupt system” by returning the AAP government’s proposal for doorstep delivery of public services.
Baijal yesterday returned the Delhi government’s proposal for reconsideration, and Sisodia tweeted that it was a “huge setback” to the efforts to provide a graft-free governance.
The proposal envisages delivery of 40 public services – like driving licences, caste certificates and new water connections – at the doorstep of citizens.
Hitting out at Baijal today, Sisodia wondered whether the L-G should have the power to turn down the decisions of an elected government.
the deputy chief minister said in Press conference that the move would ensure that citizens won’t have to visit a department’s office.
Under the current system, people are required to visit government’s offices once or twice.
