New Delhi, July 18 (UNI) A day after he wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi citing the delay in getting approval for his planned visit to Singapore, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday again said that he doesn’t understand why the Centre is obstructing his visit to Singapore.
“The Government of Singapore has specially invited me to present the Delhi Model at the World Cities Summit. I am an elected Chief Minister, I am not some petty criminal; fail to understand why the Centre is blocking my Singapore visit”, said Kejriwal while talking to the media amid the ongoing presidential poll. He added that prominent leaders from all over the world will know about the Delhi Model at the summit which will enhance India’s reputation in the international arena.
On Sunday, the Delhi Chief Minister had written to the Prime Minister, alleging that he was not being allowed to go to Singa- pore. “Blocking a Chief Minister from attending such an event is against the interests of the nation. Kindly grant permission,” the letter read.
The summit will be held in Singapore between July 31 and August 3 where leaders from across the world have been invited to share best practices and ideas for cities to emerge as more livable, sustainable, and resilient.
