    Most of the leaders in BJP are subjected to same condition as this governor. They have to serve this govt against thier conscience which is against the constitution. Only few ministers are enjoying this govt’s rule because of thier inability to take up alternate lucrative position or to get clean chits for thier sins.

    It is better for him. He was acting like a BJP puppet and putting hurdles everywhere Arvind Kejriwal wanted to make changes in Governance. His independent decisions taken are zero.

    He was a neutral appointment, probably Kejriwala has arm twisted. Now Amit Shah will bring in party loyalist! Double twist!

    Baijal Ji, cannot decide as per his conscience and constantly under BJP Diktat so he decided as per their demand!!! Of course now he felt enough is enough so citing personal reasons he quit like his predecessor!!!??? There is a limit for everything illegal or blocking AAP Government to rule freely!!! Finally he too opted out... Let truth prevail.

    It’s impossible to any minister to strike a balance between constitution and Hindutva. It’s like choosing heaven or hell.

    BJ party by hook or crook has tried to unseat AAP, but unable to. The governor must have seen the 'mirror' finally and must have realized 'enough is enough'. Cannot be a puppet in the hands of the BJ party and strangulate the CM all the while. Thus resigned.
