Regular commuters and those visiting the city had to face a harrowing time on Wednesday due to the strain on the public transport as thousands of autos and taxis went off the city’s roads for the second consecutive day on Wednesday. The agitators have warned that the strike, called by a Joint Action Committee formed by 20 auto and taxis (kaali-peeli) unions, will continue till the Government takes strict action against app-based services such as Ola and Uber.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal attacked lt Governor Najeeb Jung accusing him of “supporting the BJP” to “cripple” Delhi while Transport Minister Satyender Jain questioned the Delhi Police’s “inaction” against “BJP-supported goons” who allegedly stopped autos and passenger vehicles from plying.
“BJP goons stopping autos and taxis from plying. BJP wants to cripple Delhi. Active support from lG and Del police,” the Chief Minister tweeted, while Jain’s tweet said, “Goons stopped autos and other passenger vehicles with BJP support. Why no action by Delhi Police.”
