Slamming Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal, who quit as Delhi Chief Minister, Union Minister V Narayanasamy today said Kejriwal was lacking in "political and administrative efficiency" and had been "playing a drama to cover up his incapability."
"How can a Chief Minister stage agitation on a main road when he should take steps to resolve the problems by evolving plans and programmes?," Narayanasamy said at a press conference here.
Without adhering to procedures prescribed in the statute to place a bill on the table of the Assembly, he acted in a manner that smacked of political drama to domineer over all constitutional authorities, Naryanasamy said.
Kejriwal resigned as Delhi Chief Minister on Friday soon after his government was defeated on the issue of tabling of Jan Lokpal Bill in Delhi Assembly in the face of a united resistance by outside supporter Congress and opposition BJP.
Narayanasamy said the culprits involved in planting a pipe bomb under the car of his son outside his residence here some weeks ago would be brought to book as the National Investigation Agency had intensified the probe in the matter.
Expressing concern over "lack" of security to a Union minister in Puducherry, he said this was sufficient proof to show that the Puducherry government had failed to ensure law and order.
