Delhi CMO Social Media Controversy Resolved

The official X handle of Delhi's Chief Minister Office, previously under controversy for being renamed 'KejriwalAtWork', has been restored to the new BJP government. The BJP accused AAP's Arvind Kejriwal of misappropriating the account and demanded legal action. The issue was resolved with the handle's proper handover.

In a recent resolution of a heated dispute, the official X handle of Delhi's Chief Minister's Office (CMO) has been restored to the newly elected BJP government. The handle was at the center of a controversy after it was renamed 'KejriwalAtWork' following the BJP's victory in Delhi's assembly elections.

The BJP alleged that Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the AAP and former chief minister, inappropriately retained control of the official social media account. The situation escalated when the BJP demanded intervention from Lt Governor V K Saxena, accusing Kejriwal of 'hijacking' the account meant for official communications.

Responding to the controversy, Rekha Gupta, the new chief minister, announced that the handle, now restored to the CMO, will focus on disseminating official information. The AAP, meanwhile, defended its actions, citing clear policies and legal guidelines regarding account ownership. The resolution marks a significant step in the transition of power in the capital.
