CM Rekha Gupta's Big Decision: Kejriwal-Appointed Officials Shown the Door

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu) : In a significant move, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has sacked several officials appointed by her predecessor Arvind Kejriwal. The decision comes amid a power struggle between the two leaders, with Gupta asserting her authority over the Delhi administration.

According to sources, the sacked officials were found to be working against the interests of the Delhi government and were allegedly involved in corrupt practices. The officials, who were appointed by Kejriwal during his tenure as CM, were reportedly not cooperating with the new administration and were creating obstacles in the implementation of Gupta's policies. The move is seen as a bold step by Gupta to assert her control over the Delhi administration and to weed out corruption. The CM has been facing opposition from Kejriwal and his party, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), since taking office.

"We will not tolerate any corruption or non-cooperation in the Delhi administration," Gupta said in a statement. "We will take strict action against anyone found working against the interests of the people of Delhi." The sacked officials include several high-ranking bureaucrats and advisors who were appointed by Kejriwal during his tenure as CM. The officials have been accused of misusing their powers and positions for personal gain.

The move has been welcomed by many, who see it as a necessary step to clean up the Delhi administration and to bring transparency and accountability. However, the AAP has criticized the move, calling it a "witch-hunt" and a "politically motivated" decision. Kejriwal has accused Gupta of trying to settle scores with him and his party. "This is a clear case of political vendetta," Kejriwal tweeted. "Rekha Gupta is trying to target our party workers and officials who are loyal to us."

The power struggle between Gupta and Kejriwal is likely to continue, with both sides digging in their heels. The move has also raised questions about the stability of the Delhi government and the ability of Gupta to assert her authority. As the situation unfolds, one thing is clear: Rekha Gupta is determined to assert her control over the Delhi administration and to bring transparency and accountability to the government.
