Delhi Secretariat Sealed Amid Political Transition and Security Concerns
The Voice of Chandigarh News :
Amid a historic political shift in the national capital, the Delhi Secretariat has been sealed following the BJP’s landslide victory in the Delhi Assembly elections. The move comes as a precautionary measure to safeguard official records and documents during the transition of power.
Government Issues Strict Directives
The General Administration Department (GAD) has issued a formal directive prohibiting the removal of files, documents, or computer hardware from the Secretariat premises without prior approval. Department heads have been instructed to ensure the safety of all electronic and physical records to prevent unauthorized access or tampering.
Why Was the Secretariat Sealed?
With the BJP securing a majority with 48 out of 70 seats, the Delhi government is set for a major transition. The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which has governed Delhi for the past 10 years, suffered a massive defeat, leading to speculation about the future of key policies and governance strategies. Officials are ensuring that critical files related to ongoing projects and governance remain protected during this transition period.
Key Political Developments
- BJP’s Resounding Win: After 27 years, BJP is set to form the government in Delhi, displacing AAP from power.
- Major Leaders Defeated: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal lost his New Delhi seat, while other key AAP leaders also suffered losses.
- Security Concerns: With the political shift, authorities are taking extra precautions to prevent any misuse, misplacement, or unauthorized transfer of government records.
What’s Next?
With the sealing of the Secretariat, all eyes are now on the transition process and BJP’s next steps in governance. The party is expected to make key announcements regarding the new Chief Minister, cabinet formation, and policy direction in the coming days.
The move to secure government records has also raised questions about potential investigations into past governance practices and financial dealings under the AAP administration. Meanwhile, BJP leaders have assured a smooth and transparent transition as they prepare to take charge.
