Instruct govt officials not to follow Atishi's directives: BJP to LG

Objecting to the press conferences held by caretaker chief minister Atishi alleging that Delhi has started seeing power cuts and accusing her of trying to take over government social media handles such as that of "CMO Delhi" on X, the Delhi unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has written to lieutenant governor VK Saxena on Friday urging him to instruct all officials "not to follow the improper directives" issued by the acting CM.

NEW DELHI:

The AAP did not respond to requests for a comment.

Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva on Friday wrote to Saxena, condemning Atishi for "misusing her position to enable the digital misappropriation of government property" and for "misleading the public by holding a press conference alleging power cuts". He urged the LG to instruct officials not to follow Atishi's improper directives.
