A new tussle started between the Delhi Lieutenant Governor, VK Saxena and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the inauguration of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprasth University in East Delhi.

Delhi education minister, Atishi had announced the inauguration of the university by the Delhi CM which prompted the Delhi LG to issue a statement saying, “Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal himself was aware of the fact that the L-G was scheduled to inaugurate the campus. In fact, they were also aware that they were supposed to be present in the function as Guest of Honour and distinguished guest, as desired by the L-G and had also consented to it.”

“Moreover, even on the day when Atishi made this claim in a press conference, i.e. 06.06.2023, earlier during the day, the VC of GGSIPU had announced on stage at the Convocation of GGSIPU, where Atishi was present as a Guest of Honour, that the East Campus of the University was scheduled to be inaugurated by the Lt. Governor on 08.06.2023,” it added.  

Reacting to this Delhi education minister, Atishi said that the L-G should not forget that education, higher education and technical education are all transferred subjects.

Even Delhi minister Saurabh Bhardwaj reacted to this, saying that the L-G should focus on inauguration of buildings which come under Police, Land and Public order.

“The construction of this campus started when he (VK Saxena) was not the L-G. Manish Sisodia started this work and our elected government took it further. It is strange now for the L-G to say that he was asked by officials to inaugurate the university campus,” Bhardwaj said.

“At this rate, the L-G could say tomorrow that he would inaugurate Saurabh Bhardwaj’s office. That’s why L-G has kept all officers under his control and wants to keep it going. The CM is the one vested with the moral authority to inaugurate the campus. Such thoughts should not even come to the L-G’s mind,” he added.

Tensions have been rising between the Delhi L-G and Delhi CM for the past few years over various matters. Notably, in May this year a Supreme Court judgement had ruled that the Delhi government had powers over civil services in the Delhi after which the Centre had brought in an ordinance regarding civil services giving more power to the L-G, creating more friction between the two posts.

Manchester City’s maiden UCL triumph seals a magnificent treble

Published:


Premier League giants, Manchester City, have won their first-ever European title in the club’s history as they defeated Serie A side, Inter Milan, in the UCL final played at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium, Istanbul. They have also become only the second English team ever to complete the continental treble, after Manchester United, 1998-99.

The continental treble consists of the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League.

Spanish midfielder, Rodri, gave them the lead in the 68th minute after finishing off a loose ball in the Milan box. It proved to be enough as City saw the game off. Inter’s Lukaku had a glorious opportunity to equalize the game in the dying moments from close range, but he somehow hit his shot straight at the goalkeeper. He also blocked Inter’s potential equalizer in the 70th minute.

Manchester City, won the Premier League for the third time in a row this season, but always fell short in the prestigious European tournament. After signing Erling Haaland earlier this season, Pep Guardiola showed his intent toward winning the coveted trophy with City this season.

His signing paid off as the Norwegian goal-machine scored 12 goals in 11 European games and had 44 goal contributions in 35 games in the Premier League, winning the Player of the Season and the Young Player of the Season whilst being the top scorer in the domestic league.

This win also cements City in the history books as they match the legacy of their bitter rivals, Manchester United, who were the only club in England before City to have won the historic treble. City remained unbeaten during the course of the whole tournament.

This was Pep Guardiola’s 3rd UCL win after winning it twice at Barcelona in 2008-09 and 2010-11.
