“Today, the BJP got exposed that because our entire cabinet was there and we made it clear that those decisions need to be taken by us, we will take it and the BJP should ask the LG to make decisions on matters which come under him - BJP is not ready for that, they are doing politics over the issue...

However, BJP blamed Arvind Kejriwal government for removing the bus marshals.

“All these bus marshals were removed by Arvind Kejriwal and his letter is in the public domain.

When these people were busy doing political drama, the Honorable Lieutenant Governor was meeting the delegation of bus marshals and he also assured to take serious action on this matter,” BJP State President Virendra Sachdeva said.
