LG chooses Delhi minister Kailash Gahlot, not Atishi, to hoist flag on August 15, AAP agrees

A potential conflict between the Delhi government and the lieutenant governor was averted when the government accepted home minister Kailash Gahlot’s nomination to hoist the national flag on Independence Day. The decision followed controversy over an initial request for education minister Atishi to undertake the role, which was legally opposed. AAP welcomed the decision, emphasizing democratic principles.
