New Delhi: Making a strong pitch for handing over Delhi Police control to city government, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday sought a meeting with the Prime Minister and Lt Governor in the wake of gangrape of two minor girls here.
The CM hit out at Delhi police saying it had “completely failed” to provide safety to the citizens, while urging PM to “either act himself” or give AAP government the authority over law and order in the capital.
“PM sir, give control of delhi police to del govt for one year. If situation does not improve, take it back...Seeking time to meet LG n PM to discuss women safety in Delhi,” he said in a series of tweets.
Mr Kejriwal visited the hospitals where the victims were being treated and said that his government has the requisite funds to take over the control of police and provide security.
