Delhi LG VK Saxena praised CM Atishi, said she is thousand times better than Kejriwal

LG VK Saxena News: The relationship between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena has always been a topic of discussion in Delhi politics. News of tussle between the AAP government and the LG over schemes and administrative issues often make headlines. But on Friday, a different harmony was seen between the two sides at the 7th convocation of Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical Women's University (IGDTUW). During this ceremony, LG VK Saxena openly praised Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and praised her leadership.

LG's attitude towards Atishi: Big statements made in praise

During his address at the event, LG VK Saxena said, "I am happy to say that the Chief Minister of Delhi is a woman and she is a thousand times better than her predecessor Chief Minister." This statement of the LG caught everyone's attention, as it was a clear indication towards Aam Aadmi Party's national convener and former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Although the LG did not directly name Kejriwal, his statement clearly shows that he is very impressed with the work and leadership style of the current Chief Minister Atishi. During the ceremony, Atishi was seen sitting next to the LG and a respectful dialogue was seen between the two.

Is the political equation changing?

The tension between the AAP government and the Lieutenant Governor is nothing new in Delhi politics. There has been a dispute between the Arvind Kejriwal-led government and the Lieutenant Governor on many issues, including administrative control, the process of passing the budget, and delay in implementing schemes.

But this development on Friday presents a different picture. Atishi, who has recently got the opportunity to take over as the Chief Minister, is being seen as a capable and effective leader. His praise from the LG may be an indication that a new era may begin in Delhi politics, where both sides can move towards development and cooperation.

Way forward: Challenge and opportunity

It will be interesting to see whether this positive dialogue remains limited to formality or actually paves the way for reform in the administrative system of Delhi. While on one hand this support of LG to Atishi can further strengthen her leadership ability, on the other hand it can be a sign of a political challenge for Arvind Kejriwal.

This changing equation can be a matter of relief for the people of Delhi, because many schemes have been pending due to the dispute between the government and the Lieutenant Governor. If this beginning of cooperation between the two parties continues, then the citizens of Delhi will directly benefit from it.

Conclusion

This statement of LG VK Saxena for Atishi can be a turning point in the politics of Delhi. This incident is not limited to praise only, but is an indication that new leadership style and approach can change the political environment. However, how permanent this change will be will depend on the behavior and working style of both the parties in the coming times.
