'What's happening in Delhi?': Arvind Kejriwal questions Amit Shah's handling of law and order in capital

NEW DELHI: AAP's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday lashed out at the BJP over the deteriorating law and order situation in Delhi.




Speaking at a press conference, Kejriwal raised questions aimed at Union home minister Amit Shah.

“What’s happening in Delhi? Would he agree that he is unable to manage Delhi? Who should the people of Delhi turn to for security? Do women feel safe in Delhi?” Kejriwal said.

"The law and order situation in Delhi is getting worse. Crimes have been increasing in Delhi for the last 1-1.5 years. Traders are getting extortion calls and cases of murders and molestation are rising. After many years, gang wars are being seen in Delhi. Today, people say Delhi is the most unsafe capital in the world," Kejriwal said.

Kejriwal’s comments came amid growing concerns over safety, especially for women in the national capital.

He cited reports of extortion threats, shootings, and rising public crimes, claiming that these had become an unfortunate norm under BJP’s rule.

According to Kejriwal, the atmosphere in Delhi is one of fear and insecurity.

"Women feel unsafe stepping out after 7pm, and parents are increasingly worried about their daughters going to college," he said.

Kejriwal further expressed his frustration at the lack of action from the central government, particularly in addressing crimes and providing a sense of safety to residents.

His remarks come just months before the Delhi assembly elections, where AAP and BJP are already at odds over issues of governance and law enforcement.
