Saurabh Bharadwaj, a prominent leader and minister of Delhi’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has voiced criticism against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not extending an invitation to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for the inaugural ceremony of the Delhi Airport Metro Express Line extension. Bharadwaj has underscored the contrast between PM Modi’s recent global appeal for ‘vasudhaiva kutumbakam’ (the world is a family) at the G20 Leaders’ Summit and the exclusion of Kejriwal from this event. Another Delhi minister, Atishi, has called upon PM Modi to transcend political affiliations, emphasizing his role as the “guardian of states.” She has criticized the decision as indicative of shallow thinking and argued that it does not befit the dignity of the Prime Minister to inaugurate a mere 2-kilometer-long metro line alone. PM Modi inaugurated the extension to the Dwarka Sector 25 station, which also includes the YashoBhoomi convention and expo center.
