Centre was against reopening of Delhi hotels, claims Kejriwal

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said that the Centre was against the idea of reopening hotels in the national capital, but he fought for it and managed to persuade them.

Making the claim while addressing representatives of hotel associations, he urged all stakeholders to now work together to overcome the economic challenges.

“The Central government was against the idea of opening the hotel industry in Delhi, and I would not blame them because the Centre must have thought that the cases might rise again.

“But I explained to them that the hotels are functioning in areas where the cases of corona are rising in the country. Either the Centre should shut down the hotels across the entire country, or open it in the regions where the situation is under control,” Kejriwal said.
