The AAP government on Thursday launched a fresh attack on Lt Governor Anil Baijal after he held a meeting on the status of CCTV camera installation in Delhi, dubbing his actions “illegal” and said he should follow the Constitution and not be a “dictator”.”LG shud respect and follow the constitution (sic),” Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted while his deputy Manish Sisodia said the Lieutenant Governor should not attempt to run a parallel government as he does not have any power to call a meeting on issues which are under the government’s domain.Their reaction came hours after the Lt Governor held a meeting on law and order where the current status of CCTV cameras installation, a pre-poll promise of AAP, was taken up.

In a tweet, Mr Baijal said he had directed authorities concerned to have an inter-agency group to formulate Standing Operating Procedure (SOP) for uniformity in installation.”Chaired law & order meeting on current status of CCTV cameras in Delhi, including their O&M issues.

Directed to have an inter-agency group to formulate a SOP to have uniformity in installation & address issues of privacy, security, feed-sharing, integration & optimum utilisation (sic),” the Lt Governor said on Twitter.The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash, Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik and senior officers.But the Lt Governor’s move did not go down well with the Kejriwal government.”LG sir, pl don’t be a dictator.

This is attempt to run parallel govt in Delhi.
