"I will be visible more on roads than at the Raj Niwas," he told reporters.
Kejriwal said his government would work together with the new L-G as it had done with his predecessor Anil Baijal.
Saxena, who held the post of chairperson of Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC), was appointed the Lt Governor of Delhi on May 23. His predecessor Anil Baijal resigned as LG on May 18 citing ?personal reasons?.
Saxena is a Kanpur University alumnus with a pilot license.

In November 2020, he was nominated as a member of the Padma Awards selection panel for 2021.
