New Delhi, Oct. 13: Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday shot off a letter to lieutenant- governor Anil Baijal, saying the theft of his car points towards the rapidly “deteriorat­ing” law and order situation in the national capital.

Mr Kejriwal also wondered what the people of Delhi should expect when the chief minister’s car gets stolen from outside the Secretaria­t, which is the headquarte­rs of the local administra­tion.

“My WagonR car was stolen outside the Delhi Secretaria­t. My car getting stolen is a small matter. But the fact that it went missing outside the Delhi Secretaria­t reflects the rapidly deteriorat­ing law and order situation in Delhi,” Mr Kejriwal wrote.

He went on to take a jibe at the Delhi police, saying that upon receiving his letter, the police will try to paint a rosy picture of law and order in the city by sharing favourable statistics.

“What can the common Delhi’s law and order has been rapidly deteriorat­ing over the last few months. Police and law and order comes directly under you. Please make the system robust.

Arvind Kejriwal, men expect in a state where the chief minister’s car goes missing? Delhi’s law and order has been rapidly deteriorat­ing over the last few months. Police and law and order comes directly under you. Please make the system robust. We are ready to cooperate,” he wrote.

The blue WagonR, which he used till the 2015 Assembly election and in many ways helped cement his “aam aadmi” image, was stolen from outside the Secretaria­t on Thursday.
