Centre To Court: AAP's Allegations On Official Non-Cooperation False

AAP’s Allegations On Official Non-Cooperation False: The Centre has told the Supreme Court that allegations of Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia of non-cooperation from officials are false in the implementation of policies and projects in the national capital.

Sisodia had filed an affidavit and said that bureaucrats in Delhi are not cooperating with the AAP government, thereby, paralysing the implementation of policies.

However, in its affidavit, the Centre said that it is committed to the development of Delhi and all necessary measures are being taken to ensure that. The Centre also said that it is open to discussions with the state government on issues relating to the development of Delhi.

The Delhi government and the Central government are in a dispute over who should control administrative services in Delhi. The case is being heard by a Constitution bench of the Supreme Court.

Sisodia, the Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, has alleged that bureaucrats have stopped cooperating with the AAP government since the appointment of the current Lieutenant Governor of Delhi. The Central government has denied these allegations, saying that all officials have attended all meetings except on some occasions when they have been assigned other duties by the Delhi government itself.
