Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today advised Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to bring administrative reforms on the lines carried out by the SAD-BJP government in Punjab.

"Kejriwal should introduce administrative reforms in Delhi and the Delhi government should follow the Punjab model in this regard," he told reporters here.

On AAP leader H S Phulka's suggestion to appoint a Punjab cadre officer to head Delhi government's proposed Special Investigation Team on 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Sukhbir said "I have no idea about Delhi LG's nod for constituting the SIT."

The SAD chief, however, said his party would continue its fight for justice for the riot victims.
 

On the stand of four SAD MLAs on Delhi government's proposed Jan Lokpal Bill, Sukhbir said the problem of graft could not be eliminated altogether by establishing such an institution.

When reporters asked a volley of questions pertaining to AAP and Kejriwal, he said "I think you are satisfied with the performance of the Punjab government."

All government offices in Punjab would be connected online soon, the Deputy Chief Minister said.
