Arvind Kejriwal to replace Narendra Modi at Wharton event

March 04, 2013 22:07

Activist and politician Arvind Kejriwal has been invited to replace Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the keynote speaker at an event at the Wharton Business School later this month.

Modi was dropped last night as the main speaker at the Wharton India Economic Forum, largely because of pressure from the management and alumni.

24 hours later, one of the main sponsors of the conference, the Adani Group, decided to withdraw its funding. The gesture is an apparent show of loyalty to Mr Modi; the Adani Group is headquartered in Gujarat.
