“Our thoughts are with the families of the two women. May their souls rest in peace. The people of Delhi have started feeling quite insecure. Those who are responsible for handling the law and order situation in Delhi are hatching conspiracy to take control of Delhi government instead of fixing the situation. Had the law and order situation been under the AAP dispensation instead of the LG, Delhi would have been the safest,” Kejriwal said in a tweet in Hindi.
