The “Delhi Model” of the Aam Aadmi Party is spreading over the world. Atishi, the party’s head, announced Wednesday evening that she will speak at the United Nations General Assembly, or UNGA, and will present the “model” during the global gathering.
The UN General Assembly will debate the priorities of local and regional governments for the ‘New Urban Agenda.’ The dates for the event are April 27 and 28.
“As the world prepares for inevitable, increasing urbanisation, the @UN General Assembly will be gathering to discuss a ‘New Urban Agenda’; am proud to share that I will be addressing the United Nations General Assembly to share @ArvindKejriwal’s Delhi Model of Governance,” tweeted the AAP leader.
“The @ArvindKejriwal model of governance in Delhi can provide solutions to many challenges faced by cities and countries all over the world. This is the reason why the world stage wants to learn more about the Delhi model!” she said in a follow-up tweet.
The speakers in the worldwide meeting will focus on their contributions to the New Urban Agenda’s overall vision, goals, and ambitions.
The Kalkaji MLA will talk on the ‘Best Practices of Leading Locally’ alongside the Mayors of Bogota and Barcelona, where she will outline the Delhi government’s vision.
In a statement released to the media, Ms Atishi said, “It is a privilege for me to join the panel of eminent mayors from all across the globe and discuss the effective people-centric policies of the Kejriwal Government at such a prestigious international forum. This is a great opportunity for governments to learn from one another and help people all over the world through policies that are closely connected to the needs of citizens.”
The MLA is the driving force behind Delhi’s flagship Mohalla Sabha Project, which strives to decentralise governance by giving every resident a voice.
According to the state government, the AAP Leader, who is also the chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education, has played a crucial role in rejuvenating the School Management Committees (SMCs) in Delhi government schools.
