Direct officials to disregard improper orders

In letter to L-G, Sachdeva alleges acting CM Atishi 'misusing' her post and 'misleading' public with false statements

AMID allegations, counter allegations over "prolonged" power cuts in the national capital after Assembly election results, the Delhi BJP on Friday said the L-G should instruct government officials not to follow "improper directives" issued by acting Chief Minister Atishi.

Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva has written a letter to Delhi L-G VK Saxena, condemning the acting CM for "misusing" her position to enable the "digital misappropriation" of government property and for "misleading" the public by holding a press conference on alleged power cuts.

The Delhi BJP president stated that since the outgoing CM accused the BJP of orchestrating power cuts in a press conference, it is necessary to ensure that she does not issue misleading statements while in the caretaker's office.
