Kejriwal’s office denied receiving any invitation of the inauguration ceremony. ‘We have no official intimation about the programme. Our top most priority is a safe Metro for the passengers and at a reasonable fare.
However, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has not been invited for the inaugural function. ‘We have no official intimation about the programme. Our top most priority is a safe Metro for the passengers and at a reasonable fare. So far as the inauguration is concerned we haven’t received any invitation. The question must better be put to the DMRC and Urban Development Ministry,’ a Delhi Government spokesperson said.
This is the third metro line to be inaugurated by the Prime Minister in 2017. He had earlier dedicated the Kochi Metro to the nation in June, and the Hyderabad Metro in November. As on both those occasions, the Prime Minister will travel on a stretch of this new line, before arriving at the venue of the public meeting.
