It’s the latest tussle between the two governments in Delhi. On Tuesday, 17 April, the AAP government was forced to cancel the appointments of nine ministerial advisors after the Union Home Ministry said the Centre had not approved the creation of any such posts.

Deputy CM Manish Sisodia was indignant, “The target for this order is Atishi Marlena. It’s because she is key to improving the education system in the city. This is a conspiracy to derail Delhi’s education revolution.”
