New Delhi: The BJP-ruled Delhi Police has continually failed to provide a safe environment to the women of Delhi. It reflects how the BJP-ruled Central government's handling of the Delhi Police is deplorable and completely unacceptable. Aam Aadmi Party senior leader Rakhi Birla has highlighted how women of Delhi feel terrified while stepping out of their homes because of the rotting policing system under the control of the BJP. MLA Vandana Kumari said that law and order has completely collapsed under the rule of BJP's Delhi Police and now half the population of Delhi is living in an atmosphere of fear. Outlining the importance of improvement of law and order in Delhi, Kumari Rakhi Birla said, “The Delhi Police comes under the jurisdiction of the BJP ruled Central government and the kind of security that has been deployed in Delhi makes it evident that the Central Government is incapable of running the Delhi Police. Every other day unfortuantely we get to hear about an incident of rape or murder in Delhi. Such incidents have heightened the sense of fear in the mind of every woman living in the national capital."
