Delhi LG Appoints Kailash Gahlot for Independence Day Flag Hoisting

Decision overrides CM Kejriwal's directive from jail, escalating tension between AAP and LG's office

LG VK Saxena nominated Home Minister Kailash Gahlot to unfurl the flag, bypassing CM Kejriwal's choice of Atishi.
Kejriwal's directive was deemed legally invalid and not permissible under prison rules.
The move intensifies the ongoing conflict between the AAP government and the Lieutenant Governor.
Jail authorities warned Kejriwal against abusing privileges after his letter to the LG was intercepted.
The decision has sparked accusations of dictatorship from AAP leaders.
