From steno to IAS officers, I make appointments: L-G tells Kejri

Just in: Delhi LG Najeeb Jung writes a letter to CM Arvind Kejriwal, and says all transfer and posting in the last four days to stand cancelled. The LG's sharp retort to Kejriwal's protests to the President and PM is: "The power to appoint and to transfer, from steno to IAS officers, is with the LG." Jung says he has "constitutional powers" to appoint and transfer bureaucrats.


In effect, the L-G put a stay on appointments by the Delhi government without the CM's consultation. Jung's letter is in response to the CM's order that all files should be routed through him or ministers. All orders issued by AAP govt in the last four days regarding transfer and posting of officials have been cancelled by the LG.
