Gamlin takes charge ignoring CM; BJP attempting coup: AAP govt

The confrontation between Delhi lt governor Najeeb Jung and chief minister Arvind Kejriwal deepened on Saturday with senior bureaucrat Shakuntala Gamlin taking charge as acting chief secretary despite being asked not to do so by the AAP government which accused BJP of attempting a “coup” against it through the LG.

Gamlin took charge of the post hours after Kejriwal sent her a letter asking her not to do so as her appointment was “against” the rules.
