After SC relief, Arvind Kejriwal calls cabinet meeting today

The meeting will be held at 4 pm.

Kejriwal tweeted, "Called a meeting of all Cabinet Ministers at 4 pm at my residence to discuss critical projects of public importance which were blocked so far."

In a major political victory for Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra on Wednesday passed a verdict which favoured the Delhi government over its tussle with Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal and the Centre, media reports said.

The matter moved to the top court after the AAP-led Delhi government had alleged that Baijal is interfering in their works.

The Supreme Court said the LG can't be an "obstructionist" and is only the "administrative head".

The Supreme Court said: "Powers must be with the elected government. LG is an administrator."

The top court also said that the cabinet must convey all decisions to the LG but his concurrence is not required in all matters.

Kejriwal along with several Delhi ministers had staged a protest outside Baijal's office for nine consecutive days over the IAS officers' alleged reluctance to work for the government.

Months ago, the AAP was embroiled into a controversy after an IAS officer had alleged that he was heckled by few ministers at Kejriwal's residence in presence of the CM.
