New Delhi: Amid escalating tension between the AAP government and Centre, career bureaucrat Anil Baijal (70) Saturday took over as the Lt Governor of Delhi and struck up a cautious note on his future relationship with the Kejriwal government. Baijal, however, said he would work together with the AAP government for betterment of Delhi.

On being asked about his relationship with the AAP government after taking oath, he said, ‘‘This is a speculative thing and I don’t know how the relationship will improve.’’ ‘‘We will sit together and talk,’’ he said and thanked President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for giving him the responsibility.
