Centre delaying clearance to name two new ministers: Kejriwal

Kejriwal termed the Bharatiya Janata Party government's move as "political vendetta".

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday alleged that the central government was delaying the clearance of two lawmakers to be inducted as ministers in the AAP government.

Kejriwal termed the Bharatiya Janata Party government's move as "political vendetta".

The Centre was sitting on the files of two ministers for the last 10 days. Many of the Delhi government's works have been halted. "You have enmity with us but don't take out your revenge on the people of Delhi," Kejriwal said in a tweet.

On May 6, Kejriwal divested Kapil Mishra of his Water and Tourism and Culture portfolios, and proposed the induction of AAP legislators, Rajendra Pal Gautam and Kailash Gehlot, in the cabinet.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia also said since "the indefinite huger strike of Kapil Mishra has ended" the Centre should now clear the files.
