Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has written a lettter to Lt Governor Najeeb Jung on the ongoing row over appointments.

Sisodia in his letter to the LG says, "I received a letter from your office but what you have written in it is against the provisions of law and Constitution hence it can not be implemented. We won't comply with your order"

"In this regard the chief minister is writing a letter to the prime minister," he writes.

The turf war between the Aam Aadmi Party  government in Delhi and Jung escalated a senior Delhi bureaucrat found himself locked out of his office. AAP has clashed head on with Jung over his decision to appoint a top officer without Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's consent.

Principal Secretary Anindo Majumdar found his office on the seventh floor of the Delhi Secretariat sealed. He was removed by Kejriwal on Saturday and was replaced by with another officer, Rajender Kumar. The Lieutenant Governor has called both decisions void in a letter. "The Chief Minister will respond appropriately to the letter," said a party source.
