The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday fired a fresh salvo against Delhi’s Lt Governor Najeeb Jung for not making public his earlier association with Mukesh Ambani headed Reliance Industries.

Attacking Jung over the Reliance gas issue, party spokesperson Ashutosh said Jung had worked with the “Ambanis” in the past and he should have posted these facts on his website.

“Lt Governor Jung had worked with the Ambanis in London, in India, was part of his think tank. Why these facts are not posted on LG’s official website!” he tweeted.

This is the third time since last week that the AAP has hit out at the Lt Governor.

Incidentally, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, in his interview to PTI last week, had said  he did not approve Ashutosh calling Lt Governor a “Congress agent”.

The journalist-turned-politician also attacked BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for keeping mum on the Reliance gas issue.

“Reliance (gas) issue proves to whom BJP, Modi and Jaitley are loyal to — to Mother India or Mukesh Ambani !!!” he tweeted.
