Cong, AAP: Police on streets ‘new low’, shows BJP’s failure
While unprecedented police protest on Tuesday created a massive chaos in the national capital, political parties, particularly AAP and Congress, attacked the BJP-ruled Centre for the prevailing situation.
Congress said that the police protesting on the roads was a “new low” for India since Independence.
Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala asked whether this is BJP’s ‘New India’ and wondered where the ruling party is taking the country to.
“A new low in 72 years — Police on protest in ‘National Capital of Delhi.’ Is this BJP’s ‘New India?’ Where will BJP take the country? Where is Amit Shah?” he posted on Twitter. The party’s spokesman, R.P.N. Singh, said: “This is unprecedented.

If law enforcement agencies are on the streets, what will happen to the common man?”
He alleged that such things take place whenever BJP is in power.
Terming the prevailing situation “unfortunate,” deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia said the issue should have been handled at the appropriate time to avoid conflict.
Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said that the force has been converted into a “political entity” and works like an “armed wing of the BJP” while its basic duty of maintaining law and order takes back seat.
He said, “The police is least concerned about basic law & order issues in Delhi. Police officers are so arrogant. Delhi police has been converted into political entity and works like an armed wing of BJP.” Mr Bharadwaj also attacked BJP chief Amit Shah.
“Mr Amit Shah has completely failed the law and order situation in Delhi. Law and order situation in Delhi is at its worst in the last 70 years. Mr Shah is busy making and breaking state governments,” he said.
