Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal along with deputy chief minsiter, Manish Sisodia on Tuesday met President Pranab Mukherjee over the issue of appointments of bureaucrats by the Lt Governor without consulting him.

Talking to media after the meeting, Sisodia said that they apprised the President of recent developments and he heard the matter carefully.

Emerging after meeting Mukherjee along with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia told the media: "We had a good meeting with the president. We told him that the LG is trying to run Delhi the way he did during President's Rule.

"We told him (president) that that LG is issuing direction to officers by bypassing the chief minister and threatening them. If this goes on, where will democracy be?"

Sisodia said Kejriwal and he told the president that despite their objections, Jung insisted on appointing Shakuntala Gamlin as acting chief secretary of Delhi.

"We later approved it, and now Shakuntalaji is working as acting chief secretary, but now he (LG) is interfering in the appointment of secretaries too," Sisodia said.

Sisodia said Mukherjee listened to them "carefully" and asked for the details of the tussle between Jung and the Aam Aadmi Party government over the appointment of senior officials.

"He (president) was worried and concerned (over the matter). He assured us that he will look into it."

Earlier on Tuesday, Delhi L-G also met President Pranab Mukherjee.
