Kejriwal, Jung seen together during R-Day celebrations

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and PWD Minister Satyendar Jain were also present as military contingents, dance troupes and tableaux from various states rolled down the majestic Rajpath.

The seating arrangements of several other top leaders like Congress President Sonia Gandhi and BJP President Amit Shah also came under focus of roving TV cameras.

In a rare bonhomie which was probably due to protocol, LG Jung and Arvind Kejriwal who are often on bitter turf-war, were seen seated together.

Delhi, which last showcased a tableaux in 2013 Parade, did not have one this year too.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had triggered a political controversy last year by claiming that Kejriwal had not been invited to attend the Parade which had US President Barack Obama as the Chief Guest. The allegations had come amidst a bitter electoral battle being fought then.

Kejriwal and Jung have been involved in a protracted tussle over several issues since the AAP government assumed office in February last year, including over the control of Delhi Police and the Anti-Corruption Branch of the Delhi government.

Several times it was seen that the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal called LG Jung a “good man” with “bad bosses”, however, that could not help the ice melt between the two.
