Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
New Delhi:
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, the chief protagonists of a bitter turf war in the national capital, were today seated together in a VIP enclosure at Rajpath during the Republic Day parade.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Public Welfare Minister Sateynder Jain were also present on the occasion as military contingents, dance troupes and tableaux from various states rolled down the path.
Delhi, which last showcased a tableau in 2013 parade, did not have one this year too.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had triggered a political controversy last year by claiming that Mr Kejriwal had not been invited to attend the parade which had US President Barack Obama as the Chief Guest.
Mr Kejriwal and Jung have been involved in conflict over several issues since the AAP government assumed office in February last year, including over the control of Delhi Police and the Anti-Corruption Branch of the Delhi government.
