New Delhi L-G completes one year in office, lists ‘achievements’
“Work hard and honestly without bowing to pressure and no one can touch you. No harm will come your way,” he said and asserted that this was an assurance from him.
NEW DELHI: Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, who completed a year in office on Friday, listed the works done by the administration under him and claimed the national capital has not seen so much done in the last decade.
Addressing the IAS officers of the AGMUT cadre attending a workshop on capacity building of civil servants for effective service delivery, the L-G exhorted them to work hard and honestly without bowing to pressure.
“Work hard and honestly without bowing to pressure and no one can touch you. No harm will come your way,” he said and asserted that this was an assurance from him.
A row has erupted between AAP and BJP-ruled Centre after the latter promulgated an ordinance effectively bringing the control of the state bureaucracy into the hands of its representative the L-G. The ordinance came a week after the Supreme Court handed over the control of services in Delhi excluding police, public order and land to the elected government.
Citing various works supervised by him in Delhi, Saxena said, “We have delivered so much in the last one year with your cooperation that could not have been done perhaps even in 10 years.” In the last one year, permanent jobs were given to 17,000 people in Delhi,” he said.
