The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Chief Spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj on Thursday said law and order system in the national capital has been "completely demolished" with BJP ministers thrashing people in the streets. Bharadwaj's remarks came as he talked about a case where a senior citizen, Santosh Kumar Gupta (who narrated the incidence to Bharadwaj) was beaten and threatened by BJP's local Lok Sabha leader Suraj Chauhan (husband of BJP councilor candidate Pratibha Chauhan) and his driver Ravi in August this year. Bharadwaj said the victim had gone to Malviya Nagar Police station with a CCTV recording of the assault, where he was told to wait for 2 hours and even after that the police did not register the complaint. On the other hand, the Malviya Nagar SHO told IANS that no FIR has been registered and that the matter between Santosh and the BJP politician was already resolved.

AAP MLA from the Greater Kailash constituency Saurabh Bharadwaj has been nominated as the vice chairman of the Delhi Jal Board.

Bharadwaj will succeed Raghav Chadha who filed his nomination for the Rajya Sabha election from Punjab on Monday.

”Short of words to thank my leader Sh. @ArvindKejriwal ji for giving this responsibility. All that I know about administration & public service, I have learnt it from our CM sir,” the Greater Kailash MLA tweeted on Tuesday.

Chadha, the Rajendra Nagar MLA, assumed charge as DJB VC after the Aam Aadmi Party returned to power in Delhi for a third term in 2019. When elected to Rajya Sabha, Chadha has to vacate his assembly seat.

During his tenure as DJB VC, Chadha vociferously raised issues pertaining to polluted water from neighbouring states draining into the Yamuna and excess ammonia in the river water.
