New Delhi, Aug 18 (UNI) The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today criticized the BJP-led central and local governments, accusing them of failing to ensure security in the national capital.
Two schools and a college in Dwarka received bomb threats today, reigniting concerns over the safety of students in Delhi. Soon after this the AAP trained its guns on the BJP government.
Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal questioned the lack of progress in investigations, saying on social media, “Delhi schools are repeatedly targeted with such threats, yet not a single culprit has been caught, nor has any action been taken to date.”
He blamed the BJP’s “four-engine” governments — referring to the party’s rule at the Centre, Delhi Lieutenant Governor’s office, Municipal Corporation, and neighboring states for the alleged law and order breakdown.
Atishi, AAP leader and leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, echoed the concerns, saying, “Children and parents are living in fear, but BJP’s governments have failed to provide them security.” She also criticized Delhi Police that functions under the Union Home Ministry, for its inability to prevent recurring threats.
Anurag Dhanda, AAP’s national media in charge, claimed that despite persistent threats over the past two years, the police under Home Minister Amit Shah has been unable to do anything. Other party leaders, including Jasmine Shah and MCD leader of Opposition Ankush Narang, highlighted the prolonged nature of the issue, with Narang calling the BJP’s governance in Delhi a “complete failure.”
