Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bharadwaj has launched a scathing critique of the newly-elected BJP government in Delhi, accusing it of failing to maintain law and order within its first month in office. The BJP has not yet responded to these allegations.
Bharadwaj highlighted a spate of crimes, including the brutal murder of a 70-year-old businessman, Mohinder Singh, and his wife Diljeet Kaur in Kohat Enclave, underscoring the city’s deteriorating safety. The couple's bodies were discovered in a decomposed state, with their newly-hired night attendant missing.
Incidents in Ashok Vihar and Fatehpuri have added fuel to the political confrontation between the AAP and the BJP regarding the law enforcement in the capital. While the AAP managed Delhi for a decade, policing falls under the Union Home Ministry, led by Amit Shah. Despite the BJP's electoral success, Bharadwaj argues the party has yet to provide security assurances.
