In a sharp critique targeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal lambasted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its handling of law and order in Delhi. Kejriwal asserted that the BJP has failed in its sole responsibility of ensuring the capital's security, a task assigned by its citizens.

Kejriwal, speaking to ANI, underscored that despite his party's efforts of enhancing educational and healthcare services, the central government's mandate on law enforcement remains unmet. He accused the BJP, and Shah in particular, of engaging in petty politics while lawlessness grips the capital, urging immediate measures for the safety of Delhiites.

The AAP leader detailed incidents of brazen crime, including a recent morning shootout in Vishwas Nagar and rampant gang activity, highlighting an environment of fear among traders. He criticized the authorities for failing to apprehend gang masterminds, expressing alarm over the unaddressed threats and violence jeopardizing citizens' safety in the capital.
