Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to meet L-G Najeeb Jung
New Delhi, June 10 (IBNS): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is likely to meet Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung on Wednesday afternoon amid an escalation in tension between them.
The pre-scheduled meeting at the LG's residence, Raj Niwas, is believed to be a routine one.
Kejriwal along with Delhi Deputy CM Mnish Sisodia are expected to hand over the resignation of Jitendra Singh Tomar as Delhi Law Minister.
Hours after he was arrested and sent to police custody, Jitender Singh Tomar on Tuesday resigned from his post over charges of possessing a fake law degree.
His resignation was accepted by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.
The power struggle between Delhi's two top men began soon after Jung had decided to promote IAS officer Shakuntala Gamlin as acting Chief Secretary of Delhi, without consulting the Chief Minister.
Kejriwal had retaliated by removing the officer who signed off on the Lieutenant Governor's order while principal Secretary Anindo Majumdar was locked out of his office on Monday.
Both Arvind Kejriwal and the Lieutenant Governor earlier met President Pranab Mukherjee and had accused each other of violating the Constitution.
The turf war was more evident on Tuesday with the Delhi government refusing to let Joint Commissioner MK Meena, appointed by the L-G to the ACB, to take charge.
