Ever since his senior colleague Manish Sisodia was sent to the jail, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has got active in the city. For once he is giving time to his duties as the head of the city government rather than spending all his time on his functioning as the leader of Aam Aadmi Partyu (AAP).
This has brought him into a direct bout with the Lieutenant Governor, VK Saxena vis-à-vis discharge of their respective responsibilities for the national Capital. In the earlier arrangement, Sisodia routinely berated the Lieutenant Governor for his initiatives saying this meant trespass into the dominion of the elected government.
There has been a change in this contest for credit with both the Raj Niwas and the CM’s office rather than targeting what the other is doing, are releasing information about what they are delivering. Thus we have Kejriwal probably for the first time in public memory visiting the garbage mounds on the northern and eastern fringe of the city at Bhalsawa and Gazipur respectively.
