Sharma is in the US for personal work.
The AAP government on Friday accused Jung of “by-passing” the elected government, the chief minister and the deputy chief minister.
Jung, however, asserted that he was “competent” to make the appointment and had expressed regret “that name of senior officer was being brought in public domain in such a manner, that too a lady officer and one belonging to the northeast”.
Sisodia alleged through a series of tweets on Saturday that the Bharatiya Janata Party had sought to stage a coup against the government through the Lt governor.
“In Delhi yesterday (Friday) the BJP made an attempt to overthrow the government through the the LG. Through the LG, a government elected with historic mandate, the chief minister, the deputy chief minister had been sidelined and effort has been made to run the administration directly,” he said.
Sisodia alleged that Jung had sought to take control of the Delhi government in utter violation of the constitution. He said the constitution says the Lt governor will talk to the concerned minister in case of differences on an issue and, if not satisfied, will write to the cabinet.
