To everyone’s surprise, Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung on Thursday resigned from his post, ending a 3 and half year tenure. If reports are to be believed, Jung is expected to go back to academics, which he considers his first love.
This abrupt departure though confused everyone and people took to social media to express their reactions
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal wished him luck on social media.
Sh Jung’s resignation is a surprise to me. My best wishes in all his future endeavours.

AAp minister Manish Sisodia was also quick to end things on a good note.
तमाम खट्टे मीठे अनुभवों के बावजूद कह सकता हूँ कि नजीब जंग साहब के साथ हमने मिलकर दिल्ली के लिए बहुत अच्छा काम किया। भविष्य के लिए शुभकानाएं।

Hinting that a “jung” will continue even post Najeeb Jung’s exit, Kapil Mishra tweeted:
जंग साहब को भविष्य की शुभकामनाएं। कठपुतली की डोर जिसके हाथ में उन्हें भी सद्बुद्धि दे ईश्वर।
जंग साहब के बाद भी जंग जारी रहेंगी क्या?— Kapil Mishra (@KapilMishraAAP) December 22, 2016
Congress leader Ajay Maken questioned whether Jung was being scapegoated between the ongoing battle between Kerjiwal and the central government
