New Delhi, December 25: Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Munish Sisodia slams BJP for not inviting Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to the inauguration of Delhi Metro’s Magenta Line.
“not calling the Delhi Chief Minister in the inauguration of the Delhi metro is an insult to the people of Delhi. There’s only one reason for not calling – they are afraid that Kejriwal would ask the Prime Minister to reduce the metro fares for the people” Sisodia tweets.
Sanjay Singh a Senior leader of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday criticised the BJP-led Central government for its “hatred” towards Arvind Kejriwal, terming the Delhi Chief Minister’s exclusion from the inauguration of Delhi Metro’s Magenta Line their “cheap mentality”.
“This hasn’t happened for the first time. The same thing happened during the launch of the Faridabad corridor.
“This means BJP-led central government has so much hatred against the Delhi Chief Minsiter that the Prime Minister doesn’t like to sit or stand with him,” Singh said in response to a question at a media conference.
“Ye unki ochi manasikta ko darshaata hai (this shows their cheap mentality),” he added.
Modi will inaugurate a segment of the newly-built Magenta Line of Delhi Metro on Monday which will connect Botanical Garden in Noida to South Delhi’s Kalkaji Mandir while Kejriwal’s office didn’t receive any invitation for the event.(agency)
