Arvind Kejriwal attacks LG over crime situation in national capital

New Delhi: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said criminals in Delhi have become "fearless" and the people are "losing faith" in the police as he took a swipe at Lt Governor VK Saxena, asking him to discharge his constitutional duties instead of doing politics.

The ruling AAP dispensation in Delhi and the LG have been engaged in a keen tussle over a range of issues related to governance and decision-making, since Saxena took charge in May last year.

In a tweet in Hindi, Kejriwal, "Everyday news of crime is coming in Delhi. The criminals are fearless, the public is losing faith in the police." "LG Saheb take time out to see how scared the public is. The public wants works to be done and safety, not politics. Please do work assigned to you by the Constitution instead of doing politics," the AAP leader said.

दिल्ली में हर रोज़ अपराध की ख़बरें आ रही हैं। अपराधी बेख़ौफ़ हैं, जनता का पुलिस पर से विश्वास उठता जा रहा है।



LG साहिब, वक्त निकाल कर देखिए कि जनता कितनी डरी हुई है। जनता राजनीति नहीं बल्कि काम चाहती है, सुरक्षा चाहती है। राजनीति करने की बजाए कृपया वो काम करिए जो संविधान ने आपको… pic.twitter.com/LAOwzwN5mK
