'Love Letter' Vs 'Kartavya Patra' | BJP Trying To Destroy People's Lives Via LG: CM Kejriwal Says 'Won't Let Them Succeed'

Saxena accused the chief minister and his associates of spreading false allegations on social media, causing "irreparable loss" to the people they targeted.

After Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal made his "love letter" remark the earlier the day, Lieutenant Governor (L-G) Vinai Kumar Saxena wrote the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader an official "kartavya" letter on Saturday accusing him and his leaders of exceeding all propriety bounds and "running away" from constitutional duties and administrative responsibilities.

Kejriwal replied to the letter from the L-G by saying, "Aaj ek aur love letter aaya hai. (Today, another love letter has arrived)."

Kejriwal tweeted, "BJP is hell-bent on destroying the lives of the people of Delhi. Every day these people make a fuss about something or other. I assure all Delhiites – Don’t worry as long as your son is alive. I will not let anyone harm you.”

Saxena's letter comes just days after Deputy Chief Minister Sisodia accused him of interfering with the AAP government's operations and "unconstitutionally" conducting investigations into its decisions and actions.

Saxena accused the chief minister and his associates of spreading false allegations on social media, causing "irreparable loss" to the people they targeted, news agency PTI reported. 

Earlier too Kejriwal had taken a dig at the LG in a tweet saying he is scolded by Saxena more than he is scolded by his wife.    

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia also reacted to the LG's letter, saying that it was being done due to Kejriwal and AAP's growing popularity in Gujarat.  

"Every day AAP's support base in Gujarat gets stronger, and everyday a new fake investigation starts in Delhi. Everyone is aware of his (LG's) conspiracies to stop Arvind Kejriwal. They can do whatever they want but neither the work being done in the interest of the public in Delhi will stop, nor will the AAP wave in Gujarat,” Sisodia said in a tweet.

The AAP is fighting Gujarat assembly elections due later this year. In the letter dated October 7, Saxena has hit out at the Kejriwal government saying its rule, based on "speeches and advertisement", was alienated from works of basic public interest.
