Outside support

In the ongoing power tussle between Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, the former seems to be getting support from some unexpected quarters. Sitaram Yechury, general secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), was among the first to support the stand of the Aam Aadmi Party-led government. Friends-turned-foes Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav have also backed the rights of an elected government but with a rider that politics of brinkmanship should be avoided. Even the Congress has offered conditional support, stating that while it was behind a democratically elected government it didn't approve of ego clashes.
