'Even My Wife Doesn't Scold Me As Much As LG Sahib': Kejriwal Asks Saxena To 'Chill'
After VK Saxena took over as the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi in May, he has ordered probes into a host of initiatives of the Arvind Kejriwal government.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Thursday that even his wife does not "scold" him as much as Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, with whom his administration has been at odds over a number of issues over the recent weeks.
In a tongue-in-cheek remark, the AAP national convenor tweeted that he had not received as many "love letters" from his wife "in the entire life" as he has from the LG in only six months.
In a tweet in Hindi, Kejriwal said, "LG sahib, chill a bit! And ask your super boss also to chill a bit."
"Even my wife does not scold me as much as the LG sahib. My wife has not written me as many love letters in the entire life as LG sahib has in the past six months," Kejriwal said in the tweet in Hindi.
LG साहिब रोज़ मुझे जितना डाँटते हैं, उतना तो मेरी पत्नी भी मुझे नहीं डाँटतीं।

पिछले छः महीनों में LG साहिब ने मुझे जितने लव लेटर लिखे हैं, उतने पूरी ज़िंदगी में मेरी पत्नी ने मुझे नहीं लिखे।
LG साहिब, थोड़ा chill करो। और अपने सुपर बॉस को भी बोलो, थोड़ा chill करें।
Kejriwal's remarks come after the Delhi LG accused the chief minister and his ministerial colleagues in a letter of displaying "utter disregard" towards the commemoration of the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and former prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri by skipping the events at Raj Ghat and Vijay Ghat.
The Delhi LG had termed their absence "unacceptable" and "appalling" and said such events call for "commemoration of much beyond the issuing of symbolic advertisements in newspapers that your government very promptly did".
Saxena had written to Kejriwal last week, requesting that he speed up permissions for felling of trees, citing the delay in infrastructure projects.
After Saxena took over as the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi in May, he has ordered probes into a host of initiatives of the Kejriwal government, including the now withdrawn excise policy, construction of classrooms, and hospitals.
He also recently ordered a probe in the Delhi's electricity subsidy scheme.
On its part, the AAP has alleged that LG Saxena pressured his employees to exchange demonetised currency notes worth Rs 1,400 crore in 2016 when he was the chairman of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC).
The AAP has also said the LG's actions were politically motivated and that he had been working at the behest of the BJP-led central government.
