Both AAP, BJP to blame for Delhi crisis: Congress
New Delhi, June 18: The Congress on Monday blamed both the BJP-led Central government and Delhi's ruling AAP for the rift between the IAS officers and the Delhi government.
"If the relation between the government of Delhi and the bureaucracy is not satisfactory, we feel that it is not only the Central government but (Delhi Chief Minister Arvind) Kejriwal is also equally responsible," senior Congress leader P.C. Chacko Chacko told media here.
The IAS officials and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government are in face off after the alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash in February by two AAP legislators at the Chief Minister's residence in presence of Kejriwal.
Following this, IAS officers in Delhi were not attending routine meetings called by the Ministers and the Chief Minister.
Kejriwal on Sunday assured the officers of their safety and security and urged them to "return to work" and attend ministers' meetings.

High Court dismisses CM Siddaramaiah's petition in MUDA case: What may be his next steps?
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition filed by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, challenging the Governor's sanction for prosecution in the MUDA case.
A bench led by Justice M. Nagaprasanna upheld the Governor's decision, paving the way for further legal proceedings.
With the petition's rejection, discussions have emerged regarding Siddaramaiah's legal options. The CM's legal team is expected to file an appeal before a division bench of the High Court.
After receiving the single bench's order around 2:30 pm, Siddaramaiah's lawyer could seek an urgent hearing and request an interim stay on the decision.
Alternatively, the CM may approach the Supreme Court. There is also the possibility of filing another petition in the High Court after reviewing the order by the special court of people's representatives.
