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.

After the anti-Sanatan rhetoric, another controversy appears to have gripped Bihar ahead of the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya’s Ram Temple on January 22. The controversy is over the putting of posters, reportedly put by the INDI Alliance party, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), outside the house of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav in Patna. In the posters ‘temple’ has been allegedly described as a symbol of ‘mental slavery’.

According to the information, these posters, having images of Lalu Yadav, Rabri Devi and Tejashwi Yadav, also have Savitribai Phule’s statement. In the poster, it has been written in hindi, stating, “When the temple bell rings, it gives us a message that we are moving towards superstition, hypocrisy, stupidity and ignorance.”

Posters are reportedly put outside RJD supremo Lalu Yadav’s residence in Patna

It is being alleged that the poster has anti-Hindu comments, which is an insult to Sanatan Dharma. Reportedly these posters have been installed by RJD MLA Fateh Bahadur Singh, whose image is also there in the poster.

Bihar Minister Tej Pratap Yadav, while talking to media personnel in Patna on Monday, said that Lord Ram will come home only when the flag of INDI Alliance is hoisted at the Centre. He was responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call to celebrate Deepotsav on January 22.

Meanwhile, these posters have sparked another political outrage in the state, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) coming out all guns blazing at the RJD and opposition’s INDI Alliance parties.

The BJP has called it an insult to Sanatan Dharma.

BJP lashes INDI Alliance

A BJP leader on Monday said that before RamLala’s consecration in Ayodhya, the anti-Ram face of the INDI Alliance has come to fore again.

Responding to the controversy, BJP MP Sushil Kumar Modi said that these people of INDI Alliance are continuously attacking Sanatan and insulting Hindu religion. Whatever comes in their mind is Hindu. “Today, when crores of people of the country are preparing to go to Ram Temple, it is wrong to call the temple a symbol of slavery. The temple is a symbol of freedom from the cultural slavery that existed in this country,” the BJP leader said.
