Delhi CM Kejriwal tells Jung to work within confines of Constitution after Gamlin appointment

The confrontation over appointment of an acting Chief Secretary on Saturday turned into a full blown war between AAP government and Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asking him to work "within the confines" of Constitution and alleging that he was trying to take over the administration. Hours after senior bureaucrat Shakuntala Gamlin took charge as acting Chief Secretary despite being asked not to do so by the AAP government, Kejriwal shot off a strongly worded letter to Jung, accusing him of trying to render the elected government "ineffective" and violating laid down norms. Arindam Majumdar, Principal Secretary in Services department who issued the appointment letter of Gamlin following instructions from Jung, was also removed from the post. The Delhi Chief Minister said he has sought an appointment with the President to apprise him of the issue.
