At the 'Janta Ki Adalat' event, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal launched a scathing attack on the BJP over issues including the removal of bus marshals and the law and order situation. Kejriwal, speaking at the Chhatrasal stadium in Delhi, reiterated his vow to make Delhi a 'full state' and reduce the influence of the Lieutenant Governor in local governance.
Kejriwal slammed BJP's governance model, referring to its 'double-engine government' as a euphemism for increased corruption, inflation, and unemployment. He cited exit polls projecting BJP's struggling performance in Haryana and Jammu-Kashmir as evidence of declining public support, predicting similar outcomes in Maharashtra and Jharkhand's upcoming elections.
Kejriwal urged BJP to implement reforms like those in Delhi, such as providing free electricity in states under its rule. He also highlighted Delhi's deteriorating law and order, likening it to Mumbai's past crime issues, and condemned BJP for compromising public safety by removing bus marshals, which he claimed were crucial for preventing crimes.
