High drama ensued at Lt Governor Anil Baijal’s office on Wednesday as 45 AAP MLAs camped there until late evening insisting he clear the mohalla clinics file — an act the latter termed as “laying siege” to the office of a “constitutional functionary”.
The development sparked a blame game, with the office claiming that no proposal or file about mohalla clinics was pending with it.
The chief minister’s office, in turn, said the file seeking approval was sent to the L-G’s office, which marked it to the vigilance department on the basis of “frivolous complaints”, filed by “malicious” political rivals, that do not point to any specific charge.
In a statement, the L-G’s office said an appointment for a meeting was given to AAP MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj and four other lawmakers. However, it was a delegation of nearly 45 MLAs, led by Bhardwaj, that turned up to meet Baijal.
