Like on the last occasion, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will skip the meeting of the NITI Aayog at New Delhi on Saturday but instead meet his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal who is visiting various States to mobilise support against the recent Ordinance promulgated by the Centre to create an authority to be headed by the Delhi Chief Minister for transfer and posting of Group A officials in the capital, including IAS officers.
The authority which will comprise the Chief Secretary and Home Secretary as members will make recommendations to the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi not only regarding transfer and posting but vigilance and other incidental matters regarding the officers. In case of difference of opinion, the decision of the Lieutenant Governor will be final.
BRS sources said Mr. Rao was also unlikely to attend the inauguration of the new Parliament building on Sunday.
