Aam Aadmi Party leaders will call on Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena on September 1 to present evidence of alleged scams, the party announced on Sunday. A delegation led by senior leader Gopal Rai will request the LG to order a probe into what the AAP says are corrupt deals involving BJP leaders. Ahead of the meeting, the party held a 'maha rally' at Ramlila Maidan where Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal accused the Union government of weaponising investigative agencies against opposition parties while ignoring corruption in its own ranks. The AAP said it will share documents with the LG's office supporting its allegations. The meeting is scheduled for 11 am at the LG's secretariat in Delhi. The party said it expects the LG to act on the evidence and launch formal inquiries. Last month, Saxena had similarly met an AAP delegation on alleged irregularities in the Delhi Jal Board."

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The meetings come as AAP faces a series of Enforcement Directorate summons to Kejriwal and other ministers in the excise policy case, which the party has consistently called a political vendetta by the BJP-led central government. The LG, appointed by the President on the Union government's advice, is the Centre's representative in Delhi and controls key files including anti-corruption matters. Delhi's unique constitutional status means the LG's powers have often clashed with the elected government, producing repeated confrontation in the Supreme Court, most notably in the 2018 verdict that affirmed the LG's primacy in matters of law and order, while the elected government controls all other subjects. The AAP calculation appears to be that public statements of cooperation with the LG's office on anti-corruption will blunt the ED's narrative against them. The LG's office has not yet confirmed a meeting will be held, that confirmation itself will be the next concrete signal.
