The BJP and AAP on Sunday attacked each other regarding the recent firing incidents reported in Delhi even as the state BJP President Virendra Sachdeva accused the AAP government of trying to use recent crime incidents to wash away the stains of accusations of failure on every front of development and maintenance in the city, stating that they will not succeed in this.

Earlier in the day, senior AAP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, “Not a single day goes by without reports of open shootings or extortion demands from different parts of Delhi. In an attempt to protect gangster networks, the BJP has completely destroyed the law and order in Delhi; the situation has never been this dire.” He said that if BJP cannot handle law and order, it should transfer this responsibility to the elected government of Delhi, claiming that the AAP government will bring the situation under control within ten days. 

Hitting back at Sisodia, Sachdeva said, “The Kejriwal government has failed on every front, including pollution, education, health, water supply, public transport, and social security schemes, yet it leads in corruption, misgovernance, and luxurious development.”

He added that while police should undoubtedly take more strict action, Kejriwal should remember that many of his MLAs, such as Prakash Jarwal, Sanjeev Jha, Akhilesh Pati Tripathi, Amanatullah Khan, and Naresh Balyan, have also been associated with criminal incidents. “In fact, one AAP MLA name cropped up in a gang war murder case too,” he claimed.

The Delhi BJP chief stated, “Arvind Kejriwal should understand that in the next 90 days, no matter how much rhetoric he uses, the public has already decided to bid farewell to his government.”
