NEW DELHI: Delhi government
on Saturday issued an order to appoint 21 AAP
MLAs as parliamentary secretaries to the
ministers for its smooth functioning.
Parliamentary secretaries
were appointed by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal
and they will assume the charge after being
sworn-in by the chief minister once he returns

treatment.
However, AAP MLA and former
law minister Somnath Bharti has not been given
any responsibility by the government so far. His
name was also not among the 11 MLAs who were

According to a government
official, parliamentary secretaries will not
receive any remuneration or any perks of any
kind from the government — meaning no burden on

to them to facilitate their work.
"If a minister sends his PS
for work, he or she will be provided vehicle,
but these MLAs will not be given separate salary
or perks for this. These 21 MLAs, as

voluntarily work with the ministers," deputy CM
