In a shocking move, Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung on Thursday submitted his resignation to the Centre.

Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung on Thursday resigned and said he will return to academics, "his first love".

In a brief statement, Jung thanked both Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, with whom he had been locked in a turf battle for months.

"He thanks the Prime Minister for all help and cooperation he received during his tenure as the Lt. Governor," the statement said.

Jung became the Lt Governor on July 9, 2013 when a Congress-led coalition was in office. The Modi government retained him even as it replaced most Governors in the states.
