New Delhi (21/07/2022): After Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena denied permission for Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s Singapore visit to attend the World Cities Summit, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener said he differs with the former’s advice and would go ahead with the visit.

In his letter to the LG, Kejriwal said the World Cities Summit is not just a mayor’s conference. It is a conference of mayors, city leaders, knowledge experts etc. and the Singapore government has chosen to invite the Chief Minister of Delhi.

He said it is a matter of great pride that the Delhi model of governance especially the work done in education, health and power sector is being discussed and recognised the world over.

“Singapore government has invited me to present the Delhi model before the city leaders from the whole world. It is a matter of great pride for every patriotic Indian. All of us should celebrate it and do our best to facilitate this visit,” said the Chief Minister.

Kejriwal said human life is not compartmentalised into the subjects mentioned in the three Lists of the Constitution. If the visit of each Constitutional authority in our country were to be decided on the basis of what subjects fall within the jurisdiction of that authority, it would create a funny situation and a practical logjam, noted the Delhi Chief Minister.
