Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, Subramanian Swamy who had previously attacked outgoing RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan has now went on to slam Delhi Lt. Governor, Najeeb Jung alleging that he was "unsuited" for the post.
Swamy took to Twitter to claim that Jung was "420" like Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
In my opinion, this LG of Delhi Mr. Jung is unsuited for this high post. He is another 420 like Kejri. We need a Sangh person in Delhi
— Subramanian Swamy (@Swamy39) August 30, 2016
He is also a trenchant critic of Arvind Kejriwal who has in the past accused Jung of targeting his government at BJP's behest.
Earlier in the day, Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter and alleged that Najeeb Jung had transferred a number of officers directly. He also claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi intended to destroy Delhi through Najeeb Jung.
The Delhi Chief Minister added that Najeeb Jung transferred the officer involved in building Mohalla clinics and schools, despite repeated requests by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia not to.
