Mr. Swamy had also alleged that Delhi Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung was playing a "mischievous" role of abetting the Delhi Chief Minister.

BJP MP Subramanian Swamy’s complaint about alleged breakdown of governance in Delhi has been forwarded to the Home Ministry by the President’s Secretariat.

In a letter to President Pranab Mukherjee last week, Mr. Swamy had sought his intervention alleging that the AAP government was functioning in a “highly arbitrary, unreasonable and mala fide” manner.

Mr. Swamy had also alleged that Delhi Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung was playing a “mischievous” role of abetting Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at the behest of the Congress party and, at the same time, appearing to oppose the AAP leader in public.

The President’s Secretariat conveyed to Mr. Swamy that his communication has been forwarded to the Home Secretary.

In the letter, Mr. Swamy had also mentioned about charges levelled by Mr. Kejriwal against BJP MP Maheish Girri in connection with murder of an NDMC official.

Mr. Swamy said Mr. Jung should have categorically told Mr. Kejriwal that if he does not substantiate his allegations against Mr. Girri or apologise, he would recommend to the Centre dismissal of the AAP government.

Mr. Swamy requested the President to ask the Union Home Ministry to issue a directive as per provision of the Constitution and seek a report asking on what basis Mr. Kejriwal and his colleagues have made allegations of murder against Mr. Girri.
