100 DAYS ON, CENTRE & CITY YET TO SYNC ON CRIME CONTROL

The Morning Standard

June 02, 2025

HARATIYA Janata Party (BJP)-led Delhi government has celebrated its 100 days in office.

- SIDHARTH MISHRA Author and president, Centre for Reforms, Development & Justice

HARATIYA Janata Party (BJP)-led Delhi government has celebrated its 100 days in office. A day before, the opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) released a list of failures and unfulfilled promises of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta government.

In the midst of all this, probably what missed the headlines was a drunk 19-year-old brat mowing two people sleeping in their shanty. This incident missed a mention in the internecine debate between the two parties as law and order is not part of the delegated power of governance to the Delhi government. But then that doesn't remit the point that crime control, traffic management and maintaining law and order are integral to the governance of a city.

The onus is more on the Rekha Gupta government as she herself has considered her government be part of the four-engine machinery running the national Capital today, three others being the Municipal Corporations, the Central Ministries of Home and Urban Development and the Lieutenant Governor's office. Meaning the same party rule in all the four offices.
