NEW DELHI: A disagreement over scheduling a meeting between Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and lieutenant governor V K Saxena has arisen due to the latter’s office declining to grant a “timely appointment” to the former, news agency PTI quoted government sources as saying on Tuesday.There was no immediate comment from the office of the lieutenant governor in response to the claim made by the government sources.On Monday, the lieutenant governor had written to the chief minister inviting him for a meeting to address issues related to governance. Kejriwal had accepted the invitation in a letter to Saxena, saying “I will fix up a convenient time with your office”. “The LG had yesterday invited the chief minister for discussion over existing conflict over governance powers. But the LG office refused to give timely appointment to the chief minister saying the LG is very busy and cannot meet before Friday,” one of the sources said. Kejriwal had earlier questioned the LG over the appointments of the presiding officer and aldermen of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and Haj Committee members by him, saying if his role as the “administrator” of Delhi meant “bypassing” the elected government.(With inputs from PTI)
