Kejriwal’s Certain incorrect Decisions to be Corrected :Administrative Head”Jung”

[New Delhi]Kejriwal’s Certain incorrect Decisions to be Corrected :Jung said HC verdict not a defeat or victory for anyone
Lt Governor Najeeb Jung today said the High Court’s ruling that he is the “administrative head” of Delhi was neither a victory for him nor a defeat for Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, noting its crux is to govern the city as per the provisions in the Constitution.
Jung, addressing a rare press conference, said a number of decisions including Delhi Government’s directions to
power regulator DERC, appointment of government representatives to
BSES board and certain
orders relating to tax will have to be “corrected” as they did not have his concurrence.
The Lt Governor, who had a long running battle with the AAP government on a host of jurisdictional issues, said he always wanted to protect the provisions of the Constitution and did not agree to AAP government’s decisions when he found they were at variance with the laid down norms.
He Said
It is not a victory of anyone. It is not a win for Najeeb Jung and loss for Arvind Kejriwal. The court order is a kind of clarification that incorrect things will have to be corrected,
The LG, who has been targeted by the Kejriwal Government over his decisions, said, “My DNA is such that I don’t get affected by abusive language.”
Jung said the verdict clarified that matters related to services will have to be handled by the LG and that the Centre’s concurrence was not necessary on certain issues and he can take calls on them.
In a huge setback for the Kejriwal Government, the High Court held that the LG is the administrative head of the National Capital Territory and the AAP Government’s contention that he is bound to act on the advice of Council of Ministers was “without substance”.
A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath dismissed AAP Government’s plea challenging the Centre’s May 21, 2015, notification giving absolute powers to LG in appointing bureaucrats in the national capital.
The court also quashed several notifications issued by Kejriwal after returning to power last year, saying they were illegal as they were issued without concurrence of LG.

Cong Registers Resentments Over Delhi MLA’s Massive Salaries Hike

[New Delhi]Cong Registers Resentments Over Delhi MLA’s Salary Hike. AAP Govt Has Approved 400% Hike In Pay And Allowances Of 70 MLAs Of Delhi.Congress Has Not Even a Single Member In The Present Assembly
A delegation of Delhi Congress today met Lt Governor Najeeb Jung and discussed with him passage of the AAP government’s Bill passed in Assembly clearing the way for “massive” hike in salaries and allowances of legislators and ministers.
Emerging after the meeting, Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken alleged that the AAP government committed an “illegality” in passing the Bill without a consent of the President of India.
The delegation sought to know from the Lt Governor whether prior approval of the President of India was taken for the introduction of the Bill in the Assembly by the AAP Government,
As per Maken “Jung informed the delegation that only permission was sought by the AAP Government to seek the approval of the President on the Bill, and not the introduction of the Bill in the Assembly,”
Cong Leader alleged That The “massive” hike in the salaries of the MLAs proves that the AAP does not stand to protect the interest of the Aam Aadmi – which it is supposed to represent-but is only keen to enjoy the fruits of power by casting away its ‘aam aadmi’ garb, and “fostering” a “VVIP culture”,.
Chattar Singh and Satbir Singh were other members of the delegation.
The Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Government of NCT of Delhi (Salaries, Allowances, Pension) Amendment Bill,2015, was yesterday passed in the Delhi Assembly dominated by AAP legislators while two BJP MLAs boycotted voting on it.
