Indicating that the Centre will not accept the nomination of AAP leaders Raghav Chadha and Atishi to the DMRC board, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Tuesday there is no scope for non-official people in the board.
He said that in 2003, then BJP MP Madan Lal Khurana had resigned as DMRC chairman after then chief minister Sheila Dikshit objected to his appointment.
"I have a situation where the DMRC board is handled with great competence by the serving secretary in the ministry. There is no scope for non-official people in that board," Puri said.
Taking a dig at Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party, Puri said, "We have now different situation where Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is not suggesting the name of an MP and he is suggesting names of two people who lost elections for MP."
