Najeeb Jung to scrutinize all decisions take by Kejriwal govt?
NDTV quoting sources reported that Jung has called for all files related to decisions taken by AAP since it took charge in February last year, after winning the Delhi election.
He has also sought files on the transfer and appointment of bureaucrats.
Since his Aam Aadmi Party came to power last year, Kejriwal has been in a bitter row with the Centre and its representative, Najeeb Jung, the Lieutenant Governor, over who is the ultimate boss of Delhi, which is not a full state.
Kejriwal had often alleged that the Centre is trying to run the capital through Jung when there is a Government elected by the people.
AAP had challenged the Centre's order last year stopping the Delhi government's anti-corruption branch from taking action against officers reporting to the central government.
On several occasions, the Kejriwal Government came to a head on collision with the Lieutenant Governor over the authority over the administration.
The situation worsened when a team of the CBI raided Kejriwal's office and arrested his aide Rajendra Kumar for corruption.
The Delhi government had argued in court that there cannot be two reporting authorities.
The Centre, however, told the court that Delhi remains in its control as it is not a full state.
