Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party over law and order in the national capital. In Delhi’s Kalkaji temple, a serviceman was murdered over a dispute related to ‘Chunni Prasad’.
Kejriwal asked in a post on X, “Is these miscreants not trembling before the sevadar was brutally murdered inside the Kalkaji temple? If it is not a failure of law and order, what else is there?”
He said, “The four engines of the BJP have brought Delhi to such a condition that now such incidents are happening in temples. Is there any safe in Delhi or not?”.
Arvind Kejriwal said, “The situation in Delhi is getting worse day by day. The police is busy only in political work. The police only intimidates and intimidates the people who follow the law. The thieves, goons and miscreants are not afraid of the police. They feel that everything can be managed with money. We are asking for time from the police commissioner.
