Lt Governor Anil Baijal has rejected the Delhi government's proposal for doorstep delivery of ration, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said and alleged that the "important" measure had fallen victim to "petty politics".
Kejriwal said that he had repeatedly requested the L-G to give him an audience before taking a decision but the Lt Governor did not do so.
Earlier this month, the Delhi Cabinet had approved the proposal for delivering rations in sealed packets at the doorstep to PDS beneficiaries.
Taking to Twitter, the chief minister said, "V sad that Hon'ble LG has rejected doorstep delivery of ration scheme. I had repeatedly requested him to give me an audience before taking a decision but he did not (sic).
"Feeling really really sad that such imp proposals are becoming victims of petty politics."
