Delhi Lieutenant-Governor ‘rejects’ doorstep ration delivery

The Hindu  

Lieutenant-Governor Anil Baijal on Wednesday asked the Aam Aadmi Party government to refer its proposal for doorstep delivery of ration to the Centre with full details with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hitting back saying no such reference was required according to law. ‘Motivated objections’ However, the L-G’s office, in a statement said, “The L-G advised that the proposal of home delivery of ration may be referred to Government of India with full details, including all implementation issues, before a final decision is taken. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the L-G has rejected the proposal for home delivery of ration under TPDS.” Hitting out at Mr. Baijal, the AAP government said it was of the clear view that no reference to Central government was required in the matter and that the move of the L-G amounted to “killing” the “landmark” scheme for the poor. The government also said that the L-G chose not to accept the Cabinet decisions on the basis of “motivated objections” made by some bureaucrats.
