"Minister Misbehaved," Alleges Delhi IAS Officer, AAP Alleges 'Conspiracy'

Saurabh Bharadwaj said his sources have informed him that the LG is "threatening" officials on calls, directing them to keep postponing everything.
Senior Bureaucrat Ashish More, who was removed from his post of Delhi's Services Secretary on May 11, hours after the Supreme Court's landmark verdict that said the Delhi government and not the Lieutenant Governor has control over the transfer and postings of bureaucrats, has sent a complaint against Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj to the Chief Secretary and Lieutenant Governor alleging misbehaviour. The Aam Aadmi Party, in turn, has alleged a sinister conspiracy by the Lieutenant Governor to overturn the court decision. एलजी साहिब SC आदेश क्यों नहीं मान रहे? दो दिन से सर्विसेज़ सेक्रेटरी की फाइल साइन क्यों नहीं की?कहा जा रहा है कि केंद्र अगले हफ़्ते आर्डिनेंस लाकर SC के आदेश को पलटने वाली है? क्या केंद्र सरकार SC के आदेश को पलटने की साज़िश कर रही है? क्या LG साहिब आर्डिनेंस का इंतज़ार कर रहे…
Ashish More alleges that on May 16, the minister called him to his chamber, misbehaved with him, and threatened him. Mr More has demanded action from the government in this matter and appealed for security for himself.
Saurabh Bharadwaj dismissed the allegation, saying, "What could we have done even if he alleged that I physically assaulted him." He also reiterated his charge that Mr More didn't accept the letter sent to him by the government even though he was at his residence.
The minister pointed out that Arvind Kejriwal had on the day of the big verdict itself announced that there would be a major reshuffle of officers and those found "obstructing" public work would be removed so that better officers could be brought in.
