Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has sought an appointment with Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to discuss around 14 Bills "sent" by the Lt Governor to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Kejriwal informed through social media that LG Najeeb Jung has sent the Bills, passed by the Delhi Assembly, to MHA.
"Hon'ble LG has sent 14 Bills of Delhi Govt to MHA. I have sought appointment from Rajnath ji to discuss these 14 Bills (sic)," Kejriwal tweeted.
This assumes importance in view of the fact that the Assembly has recently passed a number of key Bills, including the Lokpal Bill, salary amendment Bill and the Delhi School Education (Amendment) Bill.
The Lokpal Bill has provisions that is likely to be red-flagged by the Centre as it proposes to bring under the ambit of the ombudsman central government officials and ministers as well.
