former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that he deserves a Nobel Prize for working in the national capital despite the hurdles put forth by the Lieutenant Governor.
He was the crowd during a book launch event in Mohali in presence of Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and other AAP leaders. Kejriwal’s statement refers to the continuous tussle of the previous AAP government in Delhi with the L-G and the Centre. Globally, his statement comes against the backdrop of United States President Donald Trump’s numerous nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize.
“The moment we left the government, Delhi is recalling the AAP government. They have shut the Mohalla clinics. They have stopped providing free medicines and free tests in hospitals. All the roads are broken. There is so much trash everywhere. Last year, in June, when it was 50 degrees Celsius, there was not even one minute of power cut, but now there is a power cut that has lasted six years. They have destroyed Delhi. They are doing politics, and they just want to earn money. I should get a Nobel Prize for governance and administration because my AAP government did so much work in the national capital despite disruptions by the L-G,” Kejriwal said
Donald Trump and Nobel Peace Prize
Earlier on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominated US President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in “forging peace.” He is not the first one to nominate Trump for the prize. From 2018 to the present, Trump has been nominated for the prize seven times by several individuals/countries, and yet has not received one. This year itself Trump has received three nominations. Last month, Republican leader Buddy Carter nominated the POTUS for the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering the ceasefire between Israel and Iran. He credited Trump for ‘preventing the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet.’ Prior to that, Pakistan nominated him, stating that the US president deserved a Nobel Peace Prize because of “his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis”.
