Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal has cut short his three day trip to Gujarat by a day as he will preside over a crucial meeting related to the 2024-25 Delhi Budget on Saturday. Initially supposed to be a three-day trip, Kejriwal was scheduled to leave for Gujarat on Saturday to handle Lok Sabha-related party work there.
During his visit to Gujarat, Kejriwal is scheduled to address public meetings and meet party workers. He is also likely to meet jailed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Chaitar Vasava, according to sources in the party.
The chief minister was scheduled to leave for Gujarat on Saturday but now he will go there on Sunday because he has to attend an important budget-related meeting, they said. The process of preparing the Delhi government’s annual budget is underway.The three-day Gujarat tour will now be wrapped up in two days, the officials said.
Kejriwal’s Gujarat tour was announced amid claims by leaders of his party and him that he may be arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Delhi excise policy scam case.Kejriwal has skipped three summonses of the ED to appear before it for questioning in the case. The third summons was issued on Wednesday last week and he skipped it calling it illegal.
