‘Delhi will not be held hostage’: CM Rekha Gupta targets CJP, Kejriwal, Rahul Gandhi after police crackdown
The security operation to prevent the CJP protest against CEC Gyanesh Kumar resulted in the detention of 7,000 people and left large parts of Delhi deserted.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta warned that the national capital would not be held hostage after a recent police crackdown on political leaders and former chief ministers. Gupta accused the youth group, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), of being the AAP's "B-Team" and accused them of attempting to turn Delhi into a battleground. She also criticized Congress, AAP, the Left, and CJP for creating havoc in the name of protests.
Gupta praised the Delhi Police and security personnel for managing the situation responsibly and prudently. In response, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate accused Gupta of losing her mind and questioned her over the alleged mistreatment of women protesters. The CJP party vowed to continue its protests until CEC Gyanesh Kumar resigns over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
