The three-member Shunglu committee, formed by the then Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, has pointed out "gross abuse of power" by the Arvind Kejriwal government in its report.

Every time politicians think they can take people for granted, they are proven wrong. People are far smarter.

Najeeb Jung resigned as the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi today with 18 months left in his tenure, saying he wants to return to his "first love, academics".

Chief Minister Arvind Kerjiwal today accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of using Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung and provoking bureaucrats against the AAP government. He further alleged that the CBI and police are being used to threaten IAS officers.
