• In 2016, a conflict arose between the AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) administration and the BJP-controlled Municipal Corporations of Delhi (MCDs) when the AAP refused to accept the Union Home Ministry’s decision to appoint Mangesh Kashyap (from the DANIPS 1995 batch) as the Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC). The BJP-controlled MCD had chosen Kashyap for the position, while the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government had proposed the appointment of Bhajani Ram Meena, an IPS officer from the 1997 batch, as the CVO.
