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.

Wait over! Mumbai City FC vs Al Hilal tickets pre-registrations to open 29th Sept

Published:


The much-awaited Mumbai City FC vs Al Hilal is almost here with the match scheduled to take place on the 6th of November at the DY Patil Stadium as its official venue. There is more good news for the football aficionados in India as pre-registration for the tickets to this game will start soon on the 29th of September from 11AM onwards on DreamSetGo.com and BookMyShow.

There is a lot of hype surrounding this match as it will see Football superstars such as Neymar jr, Milinkovic-Savic, Aleksander Mitrovic, Ruben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly play for Al Hilal. Notably, many popular and upcoming footballers have moved to the Saudi Pro League in the summer transfer window for better opportunities and more money.

However, this hype is going to make purchasing tickets very difficult for fans as only 9,000 tickets are going to be sold to the fans, while the other 2,000 will be given to celebrities, VIP guests, actors and politicans. While reserving a few tickets for VIPs and team officials seems fine, keeping aside 2000 tickets for ‘influential people’ seems quite unfair and outrageous considering that it is the fans and their money that make the teams into what they are.

Nevertheless, this means that the price of the tickets is going to be high due to the extremely high demand with a very good chance that tickets will find themselves being sold on the black market for exorbitant prices, just like what happened with the sale of tickets at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.

Al Hilal is the AFC Champions League’s

Al Hilal is the AFC Champions League’s most successful team which has won the title for record 4 times and has come as runners-up for 5 times. FC Nassaji Mazandaran of Iran and PFC Navbahor Namangan of Uzbekistan are the other two clubs in the group that will play against Mumbai City FC in Pune. The matches between Mumbai City FC and these teams will take place on September 18 and December 4, respectively.
