Lt Governor is particularly fond of me, says Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal

New Delhi:  Arvind Kejriwal may appear to be at loggerheads with Lt Governor Najeeb Jung over Jan Lokpal Bill but the Chief Minister was effusive in praising him and said AAP leaders should be careful

 “Some said that the Central Government is playing politics through LG. Then the issue came about my house that Arvind (Kejriwal) asked for it. Even that letter was leaked from there (LG office),” he said.

On why he used harsh language in his letter, Kejriwal said, “I tried to be soft (in language). I will be careful in future. The message has to go, but it has to go in a very polite language.”

Explaining context of his letter, Kejriwal said he personally wanted to meet the Lt Governor and discuss with him the issue of Jan Lokapal bill but before the meeting Solicitor General's opinion was leaked.

“I wanted to tell him that we had taken opinion of five people, cabinet has taken a decision, just brief him and explain him about the events.

“Then before that, the news came that Solicitor General's opinion was taken and that it (introduction of the Bill without Home Ministry's approval) is unconstitutional and the process in which it is being done is also unconstitutional.  Then I thought it is not right,” he said.
