AAP, BJP intentionally trying to divert people's attention: Congress

Congress leader Ajay Maken on Friday said that the Aam Aadmi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party are intentionally trying to divert the attention of the people of Delhi through the deadlocked power-sharing issue.

"AAP and BJP people are intentionally trying to divert the attention of the people," Maken told ANI.

His comments come after the Ministry of Home Ministry (MHA) issued a notification today to clarify distribution of powers between the Lieutenant Governor's office and the office of the Delhi chief

minister, saying the former has primacy in postings and transfers of officers belonging to Central services.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, however, said the notification on power sharing in the administration of the capital city was indicative of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) nervousness about the

Aam Aadmi Party's anti-corruption efforts.

His deputy, Manish Sisodia, also criticised the notification, terming it as an attempt to "save the transfer-posting industry being run in Delhi".
