Lt Governor V K Saxena has approved the extension of power subsidy in Delhi, a move that came amid a row between the L-G office and the AAP government after Power Minister Atishi said the scheme would end from Friday as the file to extend the subsidy was held back by Saxena.
In the ensuing blame game, the Lt Governor office said the file of power subsidy was received from the government as late as April 11 and it was dispatched back on Friday morning.
“The file was signed yesterday and sent to CM today, before a press conference by Atishi. They are trying to save face, having obviously been caught on a very very embarrassing and wrong foot,” said an officer at the LG office.
