TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday met Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena and said it is important for Delhi’s development that both of them work together. Saxena had last week rejected the Aam Aadmi Party government’s proposal for Chief Minister Kejriwal’s Singapore visit to attend a summit on August 1, saying his attendance at the mayors’ conference will set a “bad precedent”.
After his weekly meeting with the LG, Kejriwal said, “The meeting took place in a very cordial atmosphere. It is important for Delhi that the LG and the CM work together. There can be differences of opinion on various matters but there is no fallout between us.”
Kejriwal had skipped the weekly meeting last Friday after Saxena rejected the proposal for the chief minister’s visit to Singapore. High Commissioner of Singapore Simon Wong had in June invited Kejriwal to World Cities Summit 2022 to be held in the first week of August. According to officials, the file for the chief minister’s Singapore visit was sent to the L-G on June 7.
