New Delhi (The Stellar News) Saksham Kalia: All MLAs of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi, led by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal marched against the alleged interference of the Delhi Lieutenant Governor in the working of Delhi Government. The row started over the Delhi government’s decision over sending Delhi primary school teachers to Finland for training.
Delhi CM along with his MLAs today marched to the LGs residence against the Delhi LG VK Saxena continuous interruption in the working of Delhi Government’s working.
While the Delhi LG office denied the rejection of any such order of Delhi government of sending teachers to Finland for training, and added it only advised the state to record the cost-benefit-analysis to assess the effectiveness of such programs in the past.
“It’s a government elected by Delhi’s people. It’s Delhi taxpayers’ money. For the education of Delhi’s. What problem does the LG have?” he said while speaking to the media before the march. All MLAs, including Mr Kejriwal, were seen carrying placards saying “Mr LG, allow the teachers to go to Finland”.
The LG’s office, just as Mr Kejriwal and his colleagues reached near Mr Saxena’s residence, issued a statement, saying, “Any statement on the contrary is deliberately misleading and mischievously motivated. The government has been advised to evaluate the proposal in totality and record the cost benefit analysis in terms of impact on quality of education being provided to students, so as to assess the effectiveness of various foreign training programmes for teachers undertaken in the past.”
“It’s unfortunate that the Delhi chief minister and AAP MLAs have to march to the LG office. I hope the LG will see his mistake and allow teachers training in Finland,” Mr Kejriwal told reporters.
