Senior AAP leader and Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Atishi, has written a letter to CM Rekha Gupta, demanding her immediate resignation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Atishi said the savage killing of sevadar Yogendra Singh has exposed the complete breakdown of law and order in Delhi. \u201cCriminals have no fear of the police because the BJP\u2019s so-called four-engine government has failed. If CM Rekha Gupta cannot ensure the safety of Delhi\u2019s people, she should step down,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her letter, Atishi highlighted the steadily deteriorating law and order situation in the national capital. She noted that citizens no longer feel safe in their homes, markets, or even places of worship. Referring to the Kalkaji temple incident, she pointed out that 5\u20136 men mercilessly beat the sevadar to death over a trivial dispute about prasad. \u201cThe entire incident was caught on camera. This is not just one crime\u2014it is proof that Delhi\u2019s law and order system has collapsed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She further mentioned that even as she was writing the letter, reports emerged of unidentified assailants firing at a property dealer\u2019s house after he refused to pay a \u20b95 crore extortion demand. Atishi also recalled several shocking incidents in August alone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On August 10, a triple murder in Mehrauli.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On August 8, actress Huma Qureshi\u2019s cousin Asif Qureshi was killed in a parking dispute in Nizamuddin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In IP Extension, barely 200 meters from the Deputy Commissioner of Police\u2019s office, a young man was stabbed during a robbery attempt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Atishi also referred to the recent attack on CM Rekha Gupta herself, saying: \u201cThese threats are not limited to ordinary citizens\u2014even the Chief Minister herself has been attacked. If the CM is not safe, imagine the condition of common people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expressing alarm, Atishi said the most shocking fact was that senior Delhi Police officers were addressing gangster Lawrence Bishnoi as \u201csir.\u201d \u201cIt appears that criminals like Lawrence have become the real \u2018bosses\u2019 for the police. What more proof is needed to show that law and order is in the grip of criminals, and the police have been reduced to helpless bystanders?\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AAP leader slammed the BJP\u2019s much-touted \u201cfour-engine government\u201d (Central Government, LG, Delhi Police, and State Government under BJP) for its failure. \u201cPeople had hoped that BJP\u2019s four engines would accelerate security and development. Instead, all four engines have jammed. Today, Delhi has become the capital of murder, loot, extortion, and gang wars. Criminals strike fearlessly in broad daylight while the police only go through the motions,\u201d Atishi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concluding her letter, Atishi told CM Rekha Gupta: \u201cThe time has come for you and your government to move beyond speeches and show real accountability. The people of Delhi are asking\u2014how long will they remain unsafe? How long will criminals keep striking openly? If you cannot guarantee security to Delhiites, then you have no right to stay in power. It would be better if you resign. The people now want action, not excuses.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi, Aug 2025 : The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) launched a scathing attack on the BJP and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta over the brutal murder of a sevadar at the Kalkaji temple.
