Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung has directed all the officials and ministers of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led government to refer all the files to him.
Jung while referring to the Constitution, the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) Act, 1991 and Transaction of Business Rules, said the role of the Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers is to aid and advise him.
The Lieutenant Governor's direction came after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's instruction to all the departments not to send the files through the former's office.
He also asked that the directions issued to the officers should be withdrawn.
