‘Delhi’s Situation Echoes Mumbai’s 90s Underworld Era’: CM Atishi Slams Centre Over Rohini Blast

New Delhi: Drawing parallels with the situation of Mumbai in the 1990s, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Sunday lashed out at Centre over the Rohini blast incident saying that the current law and order situation is similar to the underworld era which was prevailing in the Maharashtra capital three decades ago. 

Chief Minister Atishi said that Rohini blast incident exposes the "crumbling" security system of Delhi which lies at the hands of Centre. 

'Delhi's Law and Order Situation Similar To 1990s Underworld Era of Mumbai' 

“The responsibility of law and order in Delhi lies with the BJP 's central government. But the BJP, leaving this work, spends all its time in obstructing the work of the elected government of Delhi. This is the reason why the situation in Delhi today is like the Mumbai underworld era of the 1990s. Bullets are being fired openly in the city, gangsters are extorting money and the morale of criminals is high. BJP has neither the intention to work nor the capability. If by mistake the people of Delhi give them the responsibility of the Delhi government, they will make the condition of schools, hospitals, electricity and water the same as the condition of law and order in Delhi today,” Atishi posted on X.
