A day after Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung's surprise resignation, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal paid him a brief visit at Raj Niwas, early on Friday morning, before leaving for a scheduled trip to Jaipur. When asked by reporters, Kejriwal said he had been ‘invited for breakfast’ and that the meeting was ‘cordial’, reported CNN-News18.
The Delhi Chief Minister reportedly said the reasons for Jung’s resignations were personal. Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia also paid Jung a visit.
Jung’s tenure as L-G was marked by a sharp escalation in tensions between his office, which reported to the Central government, and Kejriwal's AAP government.
What started as a turf war turned into an often ugly spat between Jung and Kejriwal over who really runs the capital city, which does not enjoy the same status as other states.
Without citing reasons, Jung's office said on Thursday he had submitted his resignation to the Centre. This move caught his biggest detractors by surprise.
