NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi after Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was not invited for the inauguration of Botanical Garden (Noida) to Kalkaji section of Delhi Metro ’s Magenta Line scheduled to be inaugurated on Monday by PM.The programme is being organised by Uttar Pradesh government and UP CM Yogi Adityanath is likely to be part of the function.AAP functionaries alleged that PM does not want to share stage with Kejriwal. “Due to political differences hatred has developed against Kejriwal and he (Modi) does not even want to share a stage with the elected popular chief minister,” AAP senior functionary Sanjay Singh in a press conference on Sunday. Delhi CM office has confirmed that he did not receive any invitation.Around 70% of the 12.64km-long new stretch of the Magenta Line runs in Delhi and only 30% is in UP. The Delhi government is an equal partner in DMRC which is a 50:50 venture between the urban development ministry and the state government concerned. UP government has funded the Noida route while Delhi government funded for the sections of the new line in Delhi. There are five nominated members from Delhi government in the DMRC board.“The prime minister of the country cannot discriminate. Why does he discriminate against Delhi CM? Why he was not invited in the inauguration? Vajpayee (former PM) did not do that. Our prime minister cannot be so narrow-minded,” AAP spokesperson Ashutosh tweeted on Sunday.Recently Kejriwal was locked in a bitter battle with urban development ministry over the metro fare hike recommended by fare fixation committee where Delhi government also has representation. The battle dragged on with AAP finally launching agitation for the rollback of the fare hike. In 2015 also Kejriwal was not invited for the inauguration of an extended metro line between Faridabad and Badarpur.“The central government smartly fixed the venue in Noida so that the credit can go to CM Yogi Adityanath. Even the DMRC was not involved in the process. It is the politics of low level and does not suit the stature of a prime minister,” said AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj who described the development an act to weaken the deferral structure of the country.
