Thousand Times Better…”: Delhi Lt Governor’s Surprise For AAP’s Atishi

New Delhi: 

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena – for so long at odds with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party – suddenly offered words of praise for Chief Minister Atishi Friday, calling her “a thousands times better” than her predecessor and AAP boss Arvind Kejriwal, with whom the Lieutenant Governor has had several tempestuous run-ins – on legal, administrative, and governance issues – over the past months.

Speaking at the convocation of the Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women this afternoon, Mr Saxena declared himself pleased the current Chief Minister is a woman.

“… and I can confidently say she is a thousand times better than her predecessor,” Mr Saxena said, throwing a glance at the Chief Minister, on stage with him, as he did so.
