After Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena approved the city government’s proposal to send primary teachers of state-run schools to Finland for training, the AAP government termed the L-G’s decision a ‘complete fraud against the Constitution and the Supreme Court’s order. The ruling AAP, which is at loggerheads with the L-G over a number of issues, alleged that L-G has become a major roadblock to the development of Delhi and his only objective is to somehow stall all the good works of the Kejriwal government.
Alleging that the L-G acts like a mini dictator, the government said that the L-G returned an amended proposal for Finland teacher training program, after sitting on it for four months and ensuring that the proposal itself became infructuous since the trainings were to be held in December 2022 and March 2023.
Taking the approach of equitable benefits for all, the LG has increased the number of primary in-charges, who were to proceed to Finland for training, from 52 to 87. On this, the AAP asked, “What qualification does LG have to amend the government’s proposal?”
“The file for the Finland teacher training programme was first submitted to the LG office on 25/10/2022 for him to consider if he wished to invoke a difference of opinion and refer it to the President of India within 15 days, as per Transaction of Business Rules of GNCTD. However, in blatant violation of the rules, the L-G returned the file to Delhi’s Chief Secretary on 10/11/2022 raising three objections,” it said.
