AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal said on Friday that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath should "guide" Union Home Minister Amit Shah on improving law and order and tackling gangsters in Delhi
According to a report by PTI, during consecutive election rallies in Delhi on Thursday, Adityanath hit out at Kejriwal on several issues, accusing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of settling Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators in Okhla and other parts of the city.
However, supporting the statement issued by Adityanath about the collapse of law and order in Delhi, Kejriwal added, "Yogi said a very good thing yesterday. He said law and order has collapsed in Delhi. I hundred per cent agree with him. There are 11 big groups of gangsters in Delhi, who are openly operating, dividing the city into 11 sections."

He further alleged that gangs are openly extorting crores of rupees in ransom from traders, while women feel unsafe leaving their homes due to the prevalence of crimes such as murder, chain-snatching, and the kidnapping of women and children in Delhi. "Entire Delhi is gripped by fear," he further claimed.
Giving his remark over the law and order in Delhi he stated that it is Union Home Minister Amit Shah's responsibility to provide security to the people of the city. "If Yogi is saying that he improved law and order in UP, then I would ask him to sit with Shah and guide him how to do it and what needs to be done in Delhi and how to end gangster raj in Delhi," he said.
Reacting over Adityanath's rallies, on Friday, Kejriwal said, "UP CM Yogi Adityanath came (to Delhi) yesterday, and asked (people) to vote for BJP. I want to ask him - for how hours is electricity available in UP? In Lucknow and Noida, you can see 8 and 9 hours of power cuts, respectively. I want to ask you - how can we vote for you?"
The AAP national convenor accused Shah of being preoccupied with buying MLAs, destabilising parties, and overthrowing state governments nationwide. He added that Yogi should advise Shah that improving law and order requires attention and effort, emphasising that Delhi cannot be left to deal with gangsters on its own.
