US First Lady Melania Trump is likely to watch a “happiness class” at a Delhi government school but Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia will not be part of an event scheduled for next week, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) sources said.
Earlier, Mr Kejriwal and Mr Sisodia, who was re-elected this month for the third time in Delhi after a huge election victory, were scheduled to welcome Melania Trump at the south Delhi government school. AAP alleged that it was the centre’s plan to drop the two top Delhi leaders from the VVIP event.
Ms Trump will visit the school as a special guest on the second day of their visit. She will also spend some time with the school children in an hour-long visit.
The Trumps will begin their two-day visit on Feb 24, Monday in Ahmedabad, the largest city in PM Modi’s home state Gujarat. They will fly down to Delhi later that night.
President Trump and Melania Trump will attend a mega “Namaste, Trump” event at a newly-built cricket stadium in Ahmedabad – said to be the world’s largest – and travel to Agra to see the Taj Mahal before reaching Delhi for the operative part of the visit.
