New Delhi LG Taranjit Singh Sandhu calls on VP CP Radhakrishnan & President Murmu, vows collaborative, solution-oriented governance for capital.

New Delhi, March 14

Newly appointed Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, called on Vice President CP Radhakrishnan at the Uprashtrapati Bhavan.

Sandhu said that he received valuable guidance and warmth from President Radhakrishnan

In a post on social media, L-G Sandhu said, "Called on Hon'ble Vice President of India Shri CP Radhakrishnan ji at the Uprashtrapati Bhavan. Grateful for his warmth and valuable guidance"

He also called on President Droupadi Murmu on Friday.

"Received her guidance for the road ahead. Grateful for her encouragement," Sandu said on social media.

This comes after Sandhu took the oath of office on Wednesday in the presence of Delhi High Court Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya as the new Lt Governor of Delhi.

Taranjit Sandhu is part of the major administrative reshuffle of Governors and Lieutenant Governors across the country.

In the reshuffle, Taranjit Singh Sandhu replaced VK Saxena, who has now been appointed as the Ladakh LG. He was also a BJP candidate in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Earlier, Sandhu told reporter that Delhi has been his 'karmabhoomi' (workplace). He called for solution oriented approach across party lines to resolve the challenges faced by the national capital.

Sandhu said, "Delhi has several stakeholders, and Delhi has also been my karmabhoomi (workplace). I have studied and worked here. Together we will work for Delhi's development. PM Modi has a vision for India, and Delhi is the capital. The elected government and all the stakeholders have a responsibility. The challenges will keep on increasing. However, there are challenges in other places as well. It is our responsibility to turn challenges into opportunities. Everyone together, irrespective of the party, must work together to find solutions to the various problems."

Wishing the new LG all the best! Delhi faces so many challenges - pollution, traffic, water crisis. We need someone who can work with the elected government, not against it. His call for cooperation is promising, but the real test will be on the ground. The administrative reshuffle was much needed.

Interesting that he was a BJP candidate in the elections. Hope this doesn't mean more political friction with the Delhi government. We need the LG and CM to work as a team for development, not get stuck in endless tussles over jurisdiction. His experience as a diplomat might help in negotiation.

As someone living in Delhi for the past 5 years, I just want results. Less talk, more action. The air is unbreathable, the roads are jammed. I appreciate the respectful tone of his meetings, but the citizens need tangible improvements. Hoping his 'solution-oriented approach' translates to cleaner parks and better public transport soon.

Good to see a smooth transition. VK Saxena did some good work, now let's see what Mr. Sandhu brings. His diplomatic background should be an asset. Delhi is the face of India, and its administration must be top-notch. The call to turn challenges into opportunities is the right spirit. Jai Hind!

While I wish him well, I have to offer a respectful criticism. These meetings often feel like formalities. The real issue is the persistent power struggle between the LG's office and the elected government. Until that structural issue is resolved by Parliament or the Supreme Court, any LG's ability to deliver will be limited, no matter how
