AAP accuses Saini of politicising law‑and‑order woes, vows to stay fearless
In a fiery press briefing, AAP leaders criticised BJP MLA Saini for exploiting Haryana’s crime surge, asserting that even without the chief minister’s presence they remain undaunted.
When the Haryana chief minister was away on a personal trip, the state’s law‑and‑order scene didn’t magically improve. Instead, a spate of violent incidents kept making headlines, and the opposition Aam Aadmi Party seized the moment to launch a blistering attack on BJP MLA Saini.
“The CM may not be home, but we have no fear,” said AAP spokesperson Priya Sharma, her voice steady yet edged with indignation. She pointed to recent robberies, a high‑profile assault on a local shopkeeper, and the unsettling rise in hate‑crime complaints as proof that the administration’s promises were crumbling.
Saini, who had earlier tried to downplay the incidents as isolated, was painted by Sharma as a “political opportunist” using the turmoil to score points before the next election. “You can’t hide behind the CM’s absence,” Sharma added, “the people feel the impact every day, and we won’t let you sweep it under the rug.”
The AAP rally, held at a modest community hall in Panchkula, was peppered with anecdotes from residents who recounted being harassed on the streets, their voices tinged with both frustration and a reluctant hope that the criticism would spur action.
Meanwhile, BJP sources defended the CM, arguing that the leader’s trip was for “strategic meetings” and that law‑enforcement agencies were already on high alert. They dismissed the AAP’s remarks as “political theatrics” aimed at sowing dissent.
Regardless of party lines, the episode underscored a growing anxiety among Haryana’s citizens: safety can’t wait for a leader’s schedule. As the debate rages on, the next few weeks will likely see both sides scrambling to prove who can truly safeguard the public.
