Kejriwal meets Najeeb Jung after he resigns from his post as Delhi’s Lt Governor
New Delhi: A day after Najeeb Jung resigned as Delhi’s Lt Governor, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal met him at Raj Niwas in Delhi.
Kejriwal reached the LG’s official residence around 8 am and the breakfast meeting lasted for nearly an hour.
Asked why Jung quit, Kejriwal said, “He resigned due to personal reasons.”
On Thursday Jung’s office, without citing reasons for his sudden exit, said, “he would be returning to academics”.
Jung’s decision had taken political circles by surprise. Sources close to him had said on Thursday that his resignation has nothing to do with his acrimonious relationship with the AAP government over matters of jurisdiction and he was contemplating to quit for last few months.
The Chief Minister was in Ranchi on Thursday when the news of Jung’s resignation broke.
“Sh Jung’s resignation is a surprise to me. My best wishes in all his future endeavours,” he had tweeted.
Kejriwal is scheduled to address a rally on demonetization at Jaipur at noon.
