Chief guest Rajnath Singh in campaign mode, Delhi police event faces hiccup

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s decision to skip the Delhi Police annual raising day parade because he is busy campaigning in Uttar Pradesh has led to a peculiar problem: The Delhi Police having to publish new invitation cards and redistribute them to 1,000 invitees within two days. Rajnath was supposed to be the chief guest at the event, scheduled for February 16 at Kingsway Camp. Sources said police chief Amulya Patnaik personally went to extend the second round of invites to guests – from ministers to bureaucrats.
