Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's public spats with Lt Governor Najeeb Jung are too many to be enumerated. So, when Kejriwal tweeted subtle support for the LG, saying, "Najeeb Jung is a good man with bad political bosses," it raised quite a few eyebrows. The CM was responding to a demand by the Delhi unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that Jung resign. Kejriwal's earlier tweets were more revealing: "Removing him will not help. His successor would also do (the) same if PMO kept interfering. (The) real solution is PMO should stop interfering in Delhi." Kejriwal made it clear who he considered the real challenger: an "interfering" (BJP-led) PMO, not the LG.
