DelhiHighCourt Slams Kejriwal for Continuing as CM from Jail!
The Delhi High Court has expressed severe criticism of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who remains in his role despite being incarcerated in the Tihar Jail in connection with the Delhi liquor scam. The court accused Kejriwal of risking national interests for personal gains, emphasizing that his administration appears solely interested in power.
During a hearing related to the lack of textbooks and uniforms in Delhi government schools, the court reproached the government for its negligence. The lack of essential educational materials has not been addressed, displaying a disregard for student needs. The judge pointedly remarked to the government's attorney, "Your client seems only interested in power, I don't know how much power you want."
The court was informed that the non-establishment of standing committees was the reason behind the non-distribution of school supplies. The municipal commissioner explained that these committees alone have the authority to approve contracts over 5 crores INR, which has hindered the provision of notebooks, stationery, uniforms, and school bags. The government lawyer mentioned ongoing discussions with CM Kejriwal about setting up these committees, though it seems to be a lengthy process.
The judge also criticized the government for claiming the administration is functional even with the CM in jail, suggesting they are being forced to accept this claim. Meanwhile, the standing committee was disbanded due to unlawful appointments by the Lieutenant Governor, which is now a pending case in the Supreme Court. However, the court expressed dissatisfaction with the situation, implying that someone's failure in their duties is causing unnecessary complications.
