Gamlin's charges against Jain: BJP urges LG to order inquiry

BJP today urged Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung to order an inquiry into senior IAS officer Shakuntala Gamlin's allegations against Industries Minister Satyendra Jain that he was putting pressure on her over conversion of industrial plots from leasehold to freehold.
Delhi BJP President Satish Upadhyay said that after today's "exposure" of Jain's efforts to get land use rules for plots changed, "it becomes absolutely clear why Arvind Kejriwal's government was totally opposed to the appointment of Shakuntla Gamlin as caretaker chief secretary as she had earlier objected to the government's illegal acts".
The Delhi BJP chief urged the LG to order a thorough inquest into the matter raised by Gamlin.

"Now we understand CM Kejriwal's averseness to all existing officials as they are not ready to support his unconstitutional misdeeds," he claimed.
Gamlin, whose appointment as the acting chief secretary had triggered a turf war between the Lt Governor and AAP government, had written a letter to Jung alleging that despite the fact that land does not come under Delhi Government, Jain had put pressure on her to submit a note for the council of ministers proposing conversion of the industrial land from leasehold to freehold.
