When Arvind Kejriwal was voted to power in Delhi, he had made a variety of promises like bringing in a Jan Lokpal, providing free WIFI, installing 15 lakh CCTV cameras, taking action against Sheila Dikshit among others.

This isn’t the first time London has been invoked by Indian politicians. Back in 2011 Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee had expressed her desire to transform Kolkata into London. Efforts also seem to be underway in that regard after a replica of the Big Ben has cropped up in the city.
