New Delhi, Dec 23 (NationPress) The Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, V.K. Saxena, addressed former Chief Minister and AAP leader, Arvind Kejriwal, in a sharply worded letter, attributing the ongoing air pollution crisis to his administration and labeling him a prime example of the phrase “Master of announcements and execution of none”.

The L-G criticized the AAP's “petty politics” and “propaganda war” that aim to undermine the present Delhi government, which is striving to tackle the city’s longstanding issues.

Pointing fingers at Kejriwal for halting crucial projects like Metro Phase-IV, the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), and the deployment of e-buses—initiatives that could have enhanced public transportation and mitigated air pollution—Saxena remarked, “If you had collaborated instead of clashing with neighboring states and the Union government, Delhi wouldn't be grappling with this air pollution catastrophe today.”

He recounted a conversation from 2002 where Kejriwal dismissed the pollution problem as a “15-20 day phenomenon” that would fade from media and public attention.

The L-G also rebuked Kejriwal and AAP officials for continuing their petty politics without learning from their significant electoral loss in February.

Saxena stated, “Since your election defeat, you and your party have acted as adversaries rather than a constructive opposition. The state of Delhi’s roads, streets, and neighborhoods littered with garbage and sewage serves as a clear testament to your failures.” He emphasized the city's current infrastructural woes, including Yamuna pollution, leaking drinking water pipelines, and damaged roads, as a result of the AAP government's shortcomings.

He also highlighted that Kejriwal has set a remarkable example of governance focused on announcements, advertisements, and social media posts without any substantial achievements.

Saxena accused the Kejriwal administration of systematically undermining political ideals, constitutional values, and democratic norms, stating, “To escape accountability, Kejriwal has never signed any file.”

He criticized the decision to abandon weekly Cabinet meetings, noting that the 15-page communication also indicated that AAP leaders often insulted the L-G whenever he sought to serve the public's interest.

In his letter, Saxena lamented that he could have addressed these issues directly to Kejriwal, but the latter has not met him since the AAP's electoral loss, even going so far as to block his phone number to prevent communication.
