 "President's Secretariat forwards Swamy's complaint against Kejriwal to Home Ministry")
The President's Secretariat has forwarded to the Home Ministry a complaint by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Subramanian Swamy alleging breakdown of governance in Delhi.
In a letter to President Pranab Mukherjee last week, Swamy had sought his intervention alleging that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government was functioning in a "highly arbitrary, unreasonable and malafide" manner.
Swamy had also alleged that Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung was playing a "mischievous" role of abetting Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at the behest of the Congress party and, at the same time, appearing to oppose the AAP leader in public.
The President's Secretariat also informed Swamy that his communication has been forwarded to the home secretary.
In the letter, Swamy had also mentioned charges levelled by Kejriwal against BJP MP Maheish Girri in connection with murder of an New Delhi Municipal Council official.
Swamy said Jung should have categorically told Kejriwal that if he does not substantiate his allegations against Girri or apologise, he would recommend to the Centre the dismissal of the AAP government.
Swamy requested the President to ask the Union Home Ministry to issue a directive according to the provisions of the Constitution and seek a report asking on what basis Kejriwal and his colleagues have made allegations of murder against Girri.
