NEW DELHI: Taking the “Kejriwal model of governance” to the global platform, Kalkaji MLA Atishi said at the United Nations General Assembly on Friday that the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government showed that in a city of 30 million it was possible to provide high quality public services while running a fiscally responsible administration.
Speaking along with the mayors of Bogota and Barcelona on ‘Best Practices of Leading Locally’ on implementing the world body’s New Urban Agenda, Atishi said the Kejriwal government struck a balance of “egalitarian development” with “sustainability and fiscal prudence”.
The AAP MLA said, “The Arvind Kejriwal-led government in Delhi has shown that a government can provide high quality public services to all its citizens and yet be fiscally responsible. And it is these very public services that, in fact, lead to greater economic growth.”
