Open war between Jung and Arvind Kejriwal: </br><br> In an open confrontation, Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung appointed senior bureaucrat Shakuntala Gamlin as acting Chief Secretary of the city government notwithstanding strong reservations by Delhi CM and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal dispensation which termed the decision as "unconstitutional". The Lt Governor gave the additional charge of Chief Secretary to Gamlin, a 1984-batch IAS officer, hours after she wrote a scathing letter to Jung claiming that she was pressurised by a senior bureaucrat in CM's office not to be in race for the post due to her alleged proximity to BSES discoms. Slamming the move, the AAP government said the LG cannot bypass the elected government and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and that he acted against "the Constitution, GNCT of Delhi Act and the Transaction of Business Rules."

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was tagged as “anarchist” today by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Udit Raj today after he faced the heat from a group of irate villagers at the commissioning of the Bawana Water Treatment Plant where Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal was present. A group of 30-odd women from the nearby Sannoth village virtually forced Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia to cut short his speech as they sought the intervention of Kejriwal in resolving their "long-standing" grievances. After a minor ruckus, Kejriwal worked out an on-the-spot solution to placate the villagers as he had a word with Delhi Jal Board CEO Vijay Kumar, who was also present on the occasion.
