Security Shuffle: Gujarat Forces in Delhi Poll Fray

Arvind Kejriwal questions the deployment of Gujarat's State Reserve Police Force in Delhi for upcoming elections following the withdrawal of Punjab Police from his security. The move, sanctioned by the Election Commission, has stirred political controversy as polling approaches on February 5.

Arvind Kejriwal, the national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party, has raised concerns over the deployment of eight companies of Gujarat's State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) in Delhi ahead of the assembly elections.

The SRPF units arrived in Delhi on January 13 under the directives of the Election Commission, as confirmed by Commandant SRPF, Bhachau, Tejas Patel.

The deployment has sparked a political debate, as it follows the withdrawal of Punjab Police from Kejriwal's security. Kejriwal attributed the decision to political motives, especially with Delhi set to vote on February 5, and votes to be counted on February 8.
