Atishi claims rapid expansion of Delhi Metro under AAP
Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, on Tuesday, said that the city has seen a rapid expansion of the Metro network over the past 10 years under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal.
Arvind Kejriwal has informed Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena through a letter that Delhi Minister Atishi shall hoist the national flag during the Independence Day celebrations in his place, the party sources said.
The Delhi chief minister is currently under detention in the Tihar Jail in connection with alleged corruption related to the (now scrapped) Delhi excise policy.
Every year, the Independence Day celebrations at the city’s Chhatrasal Stadium start with the chief minister hoisting the tricolour and addressing a gathering.

In 2014, it was the LG who led the Independence Day celebrations at Chhatrasal Stadium and took salute as Kejriwal had stepped down after 49 days of assuming power. This time around, the CM is under detention lodged in Tihar prisons.
