Last Updated 17 December 2018, 16:50 IST

Kejriwal meets Rajnath on the stalemate over the issue of control of bureaucrats.

After the meeting, Kejriwal said he explained his position to Singh on why services department comes under the Delhi government according to the Supreme Court judgement.

"The Lt Governor and the Centre are saying they will abide by half of the judgement. I told him Lt Governor and the Centre are interpreting order in their own way. Order mentions 'Services' -management of administrative officers lies with Delhi government but Lt Governor and the Centre are refusing to abide by the order," he said.

Earlier in the day, Kejriwal alleged "complicity" between the officers and Lt Governor after the food department of Delhi government sent the file concerning doorstep delivery of ration scheme to the law department seeking its suggestion on the proposal.

The food department wanted an opinion whether the scheme can be implemented without clearance from the Centre because it comes under the provision of National Food Safety Act.

"This news clearly shows the complicity of the officer and the Lt Governor. It is evident that the officers are being asked to stop working," Kejriwal tweeted.
