A political firestorm erupted in Delhi as BJP and AAP locked horns over the legacy of Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Dr BR Ambedkar. BJP MLA Satish Upadhyay dismissed AAP's allegations of disrespect, accusing the party of creating diversions from corruption allegations.

In a move to spotlight the issue, Upadhyay visited Shaheed Bhagat Singh Park, highlighting the neglected, broken statue of the iconic freedom fighter. He pointed out that AAP MLA Somnath Bharti has ignored the statue for a decade, despite holding office in the area.

Criticism intensified as BJP MP Manoj Tiwari accused AAP of misleading the public. Tiwari slammed AAP for featuring Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's portrait alongside Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh, hinting it as an affront to their legacies. Meanwhile, the tension continues to escalate between the two parties in Delhi.
