  "account": "Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta criticized the Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) for protesting against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. She accused the opposition parties and other groups of colluding with foreign elements to harm India. Gupta questioned why they were protesting in Delhi but not in Punjab, where a recent murder linked to drug trafficking had occurred. She challenged the AAP to protest over the killing of an anti-drug activist in Punjab and asked, \"Where does this CJP go when issues arise in other states?\" Gupta also blamed the Congress and the AAP for causing distress in Delhi by staging protests, resulting in losses worth thousands of crores of rupees for traders and the general public. She pointed out that the last Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Delhi took place in 2002 during a Congress government's rule, and the Congress party has not won a single seat in Delhi since 2015. Gupta accused the opposition parties of being unhappy with the Modi government's development work and progress, and working with hostile foreign elements against India.",
