Krazywal thinks Delhi voted for him. Wrong. It voted for his various subsidies. Now poor Indians will pay for rich Delhiites.

Delhi govt. replaces Principal Secretary Anindo Majumdar
Official who okayed Gamlin's appointment replaced by CM's aide.
The AAP government today appointed Chief Minister’s Secretary Rajendra Kumar as Principal Secretary (Services) which was promptly rejected by Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung.
Mr. Kumar’s appointment by the AAP government came hours after the Kejriwal-led government locked the office of Principal Secretary (Services) Anindo Majumdar who had issued an order notifying the appointment of Shakuntala Gamlin as the acting chief secretary.
Reacting to the appointment, Mr. Jung shot off a letter to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, declaring Mr. Kumar’s appointment in place of Mr. Majumdar “void”, noting that it did not have his approval.

After its temporary Chief Secretary, the Delhi Government, on Monday, went after a bureaucrat who had cleared her appointment.
Principal Secretary (Services) Anindo Majumdar reached his office only to find it out of bounds as per a direction from Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's office. He has been replaced, for the time being, by one of the CM's close aides.
Mr. Majumdar had cleared the appointment of Shakuntala Gamlin as acting CS for an interim period of ten days during which KK Sharma had applied for leave late last week.
The Delhi Government said it took action against the said bureaucrat as per rules deeming it the final authority in relation to the transfer and postings of AGMUT cadre bureaucrats.
His work will now be looked after by Rajender Kumar, Mr. Kejriwal's principal secretary.
BJP leader Vijender Gupta said, "The vengeful way the Chief Minister has been acting might either have been triggered by lack of experience or pure arrogance."
On Sunday, Mr. Kejriwal had targeted Ms. Gamlin at a public event, accused her of 'working for power' discoms and vowed to 'keep an eye in her activities'.
