NEW DELHI: Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia called on lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung on Tuesday, first such meeting between the two following last week’s Delhi HC verdict that said that Delhi is a Union Territory and the L-G was the ‘administrator’ of the National Capital.

Sources said that the two had a one-on-one meeting and no official was present during the interaction. The meeting lasted for about half an hour.

“It was a general discussion between the L-G and the deputy CM. However, there will be detailed discussion on the high court order and other issues once chief minister Arvind Kejriwal comes back from Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, where he is undergoing a 10-day meditation session,” a source said.

The CM is scheduled to resume work on August 12.

In an interview to HT last week, Jung had said he will request the chief minister to visit his office where he would discuss the contours of the high court verdict.
