Najeeb Jung Quits As Delhi Lieutenant Governor; Kejriwal Tweets 'It's A Surprise'

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". Mr Jung's three years in office were dogged by his constant power tussle with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government. "Sh Jung's resignation is a surprise to me, my best wishes in all his future endeavours. (sic)" Mr Kejriwal tweeted.
