“It is LG of Delhi, VK Saxena, which has been appointed by the Central Government. The BJP -led central government and it is responsible for the safety of millions of people in Delhi.

More than 15 people lost their lives, yet the central government and LG are not only refusing to express grief, but are also not accepting this incident. This could not lead to any other embarrassing example of his failure, “AAP has posted on X.
