The Supreme Court on Thursday slammed Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal for the ‘mountains of garbage’ in the city. The court said the L-G had the power to clear the mess but was not exercising it. In what is likely to be seen as a further boost for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the court said the CM cannot be blamed. “He (L-G) says he has the power, but he won't exercise it. How many directions has he issued? How long will you take to clear this mess?” the court asked on Thursday.
