"I am happy today that Delhi's chief minister is a woman, and I can confidently say that she is perhaps a thousand times better than her predecessor," Saxena said during his address at the convocation ceremony of the Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women (IGDTUW), as Atishi sat nearby.
Atishi spoke after him, but did not address Saxena's comments in her speech, focusing on the government's efforts to expand higher education opportunities in Delhi.
Saxena's comments come amid a nadir in ties between the elected AAP government and the office of the LG, who is nominated by the Centre.
The Capital's two power centres have traded barbs on a string of occasions. The state government has accused the LG of centralising control of the city's bureaucracy and hampering the administration. Saxena, on the other hand, has accused the party of graft and of working in its self-interest, giving his sanction for a string of anti-corruption cases against government agencies and officials.
