Everyday my leaves fall… LG Saxena said on relations with you – it is our government, relations will also remain

New Delhi: Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena’s style was seen changing in the assembly amid constant tension. When LG was asked that what would he like to say on the bitterness seen in the relations between him and the Delhi government? In response, the LG said that there is no doubt that in the last few days all the limits of speech have been broken. But a tree has said a very beautiful thing to the wind. Saying the same thing, I would like to answer this question that my leaves fall every day, yet my relationships are not broken by the winds. So our relationship will also remain. This is our government. How can our relationship be bad? However, there is no sign of abating between the Delhi government and the LG at the moment. Even on the occasion of the beginning of the budget session of the Legislative Assembly on Friday, both the parties were seen giving instructions to each other in gestures.

Special warmth was not seen in LG and CM

LG Vinay Kumar Saxena reached the Vidhan Sabha on Friday for the first time after assuming the office of Lieutenant Governor, where he was received by the Speaker Ram Niwas Goel. The CM also greeted him, but there was no special warmth between the two sides. Apart from this, the LG’s speech at the beginning of the budget session is usually very long and lasts for more than half an hour, but this time the LG’s speech was short and ended in only 23 minutes. When the LG and the CM came out after the address, both were seen giving advice to each other even in their statements to the media.

LG counted the achievements of the Delhi government
In his speech, LG described Delhi’s economy as strong, mentioning all the achievements of the Delhi government in various fields. However, due to the ruckus of the opposition, he had to stand for about 12 minutes before starting the speech. At the beginning of his address, the LG said, ‘I am very happy to state that my government in the last 8 years has provided good governance based on the principles of transparency, accountability and sensitivity. Despite various constraints, my government has taken several initiatives on many fronts and has created a strong foundation, which will help in building a developed and prosperous Delhi.

The LG said that Delhi’s economy has the qualities of a strong economy despite the Covid pandemic. The pandemic has certainly adversely affected the demand and supply of goods and services in the economy, but despite this Delhi has stuck to strong economic fundamentals. The LG gave a brief account of the achievements of the government in key areas such as economy, education, health, transport, tourism, energy, social welfare.

CM said – the elected government should be allowed to work
CM Kejriwal said that these are small things. Democracy should be respected. If 2 crore people have elected a government, then that government should be allowed to work. If you do not allow the government to work, if you create various kinds of obstacles, then it is not good. Referring to the LG’s speech, the CM said that ever since the Aam Aadmi Party government was formed in Delhi, there has been quadruple progress day and night in every area. Tremendous progress has been made in the last 5-7 years in education, health, electricity, water, tourism, infrastructure. We will keep it going forward.

The CM said that Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor Vinay Kumar Saxena has also appreciated the work of the Delhi government in his address. Counting the achievements of the Aam Aadmi Party government in front of the people of Delhi, he has told how the Delhi government has done a great job despite all the hurdles and challenges. Not only Delhi, but the people of the entire country also believe that the Delhi government is doing a good job. CM said that every person should respect democracy and let the elected government do its work.
