'Low discourse' vs 'dirty politics': Delhi LG vs CM Arvind Kejriwal amid tussle over power-sharing

A fresh war of words broke out between Delhi's Chief Minister and the Lieutenant Governor on 20 January 2023.

LG VK Saxena wrote to CM Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of making "misleading and derogatory remarks" and resorting to a "low level of discourse". Responding to Kejriwal's "who is LG" attack in the Assembly a few days ago, Saxena said that the CM would find the answer by "cursorily" referring to the Constitution of India.

Meanwhile, Kejriwal said that while the law-and-order situation is deteriorating in the capital, the LG is busy playing "dirty politics".

"He has called a series of meetings of Delhi government officers today, which he has no powers to do, to further meddle and interfere in an elected government's functioning," Kejriwal said in a tweet.

His remarks came a day after Delhi Commission for Women chairperson Swati Maliwal alleged she was molested by a drunk man while she was on an inspection at night, and dragged by his car for 10-15 metres outside AIIMS here with her hand stuck in the vehicle's window.
