Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to 'destroy' Delhi, alleges Arvind Kejriwal
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 30 August, claiming that PM Modi wants to "destroy Delhi".
Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter and alleged that Lt Governor Najeeb Jung had transferred a number of officers directly. He also claimed that the Prime Minister intended to destroy Delhi through Najeeb Jung.

Today, several officers transferred by LG directly. Files not even shown to CM or any minister. Is this Modi model of democracy?

The Delhi Chief Minister added that Najeeb Jung transferred the officer despite repeated requests by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia not to.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on 28 August had earlier alleged that the Lieutenant Governor is behaving like a "king" and is interested in spreading dictatorship in the national capital.
Manish Sisodia had reportedly requested Najeeb Jung to not remove the officers involved in building the Mohalla clinics and schools.
The scuffle between the AAP and the Lt governor escalated after the High Court held that the LG is the administrative head of the National Capital Territory and the AAP Government's contention that he is bound to act on the advice of Council of Ministers was "without substance".
