Political merry-go-round: Arvind Kejriwal extends support to Delhi Lt.Gov. Najeeb Jung
"Sh Najeeb Jung is a good man with bad political bosses," Kejriwal tweeted on Saturday morning, leaving many dumbstruck, but showing amply the AAP chief's swiftness to seize an opportunity, especially after two BJP MPs attacked the Lieutenant Governor with bitter words.
In a series of tweets, Kejriwal praised Jung and accused the Narendra Modi government at the Centre for the crisis. His support for Jung is being seen as a clever move by him to embarrass the BJP.
"Congress n BJP both demanding Sh Najeeb Jung's removal? Strange. Is he at fault? No. He is doin what PMO is asking him to do," Kejriwal said.
"Removing him will not help. His successor wud also do same if PMO kept interfering. Real solution is PMO shud stop interfering in Delhi," he said.
Since he took over as Chief Minister of Delhi, Kejriwal has been at loggerheads with Jung attacking him almost everyday on various issues, including appointment of senior bureaucrats.
