New Delhi: Amid the ongoing probe into the sensational murder of former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Baba Siddique in Mumbai on Saturday, AAP leader and Delhi minister Saurabh Bhardwaj has raised questions over the alleged deteriorating law and order situation in the national capital.
"There's a BJP government in Mumbai and you can see the law and order situation, their leader has been murdered. In Delhi too, the law and order is under the central government and here too the situation is becoming like Mumbai,” Bhardwaj told the media while reacting to Baba Siddique's murder.
The AAP leader said that the BJP's “central and state governments spend all their time in politics, they don't have time for governance.”

“We don't know if action will be taken or not but has it happened that so many gangsters have become active in Delhi and Mumbai, is the government encouraging them? This is a very serious situation," Bhardwaj added.
