Delhi Chief Minister Atishi has claimed that Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena issued an order to demolish temples and Buddhist monasteries in the city.

The article discusses a political clash between Atishi, a prominent AAP leader and Delhi's Education Minister, and the Lieutenant Governor (LG) of Delhi, Vinai Kumar Saxena, over an alleged order to demolish a temple in Mandawali, East Delhi. Atishi accused the LG of ordering the demolition without consulting the elected government, highlighting a lack of democratic process. She criticized the LG for what she described as an authoritarian approach, bypassing the elected representatives and the Delhi Development Authority (DDA). The LG's office responded by stating that the temple was encroaching on public land, and its removal was necessary for public interest, asserting that the decision was made in accordance with legal procedures. This incident has escalated tensions between the AAP government and the LG, reflecting broader conflicts over governance and authority in Delhi.
