LG engaged same lawyer for 2 parties in mayor poll case, Kejriwal hits out at LG

Hindustan Times  

A day after the Supreme Court’s order on the Delhi mayoral polls, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday alleged that lieutenant governor VK Saxena had tried to prevent the city government from presenting its views before the top court in the case by engaging the same lawyer for two parties. The Aam Aadmi Party ’s mayoral candidate Shelly Oberoi’s had moved the Supreme Court seeking early conduct of the polls after three attempts to elect the mayor failed due to ruckus in the MCD House. The LG on the night of February 9 issued an order to the urban development department secretary asking it to engage Tushar Mehta as the advocate to present the views of the Delhi government,” Kejriwal said, sharing a copy of the order issued by the LG. “Most decisions taken by LG regarding MCD mayor election were brazenly illegal and unconstitutional,” he said, adding, “I want to appeal to the LG not to interfere in the functioning of the elected government.” Meanwhile, the AAP government on Saturday recommended to the LG to conduct the mayoral polls on February 22 and Kejriwal said the party will win the polls.
