Criticising the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi Government for appointing Swati Maliwal as the new Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief, Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) leader Satish Upadhyay alleged that the people of the city want to know whether the Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal is taking forward the 'jijaji parampara' of the Congress Party. Media reports are saying that Naveen Jaihind is the brother-in-law. Someone else is saying that he has other personal relations.
Upadhyay also questioned whether Swati Maliwal, who was Kejriwal's political advisor, fulfills the qualifications required to become DCW chief. He asked that when the AAP came into power, Kejriwal had strongly protested against the appointment of Barkha Singh to the DCW. He had said that the chief of DCW should be non-partisan. He had said that it is below his morality to appoint a political person and he asked that what has happened to that morality now.
The AAP has appointed party leader Swati Maliwal as the new chief of the DCW. Maliwa, would be replacing Barkha Shukla, whose tenure ends later this week. Her appointment has however run into controversy, with the opposition targeting Kejriwal for giving space to people from the party in the government.
