The political landscape in Delhi is currently marked by tension and controversy as Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders, including Delhi Speaker Ram Niwas Goel and Deputy Mayor Aaley Mohd Iqbal, find themselves under house arrest. AAP leader Gopal Rai announced this development during a press conference on February 2. Several other AAP MLAs and councillors have also reportedly been subjected to house arrest in anticipation of the planned protest outside the BJP headquarters.

 

The list of leaders allegedly under house arrest includes the MLA of Rajouri Garden, MLA of Janakpuri, councillors of Harinagar, Bijwasan MLA, Chhatarpur MLA, Krishna Nagar MLA, Deputy Mayor, Laxmi Nagar Councillor, RK Puram Councillor, Badli Councillor, Motinagar, Trinagar, Timarpur, and Seemapuri.

The reason behind this preemptive action is the AAP’s scheduled protest against what they claim to be “cheating” in the Chandigarh mayoral polls, ultimately won by the BJP. Manoj Sonkar, a BJP councillor, secured victory in the elections and was appointed as the new mayor. The outcome saw Sonkar amassing 16 votes, while Kuldeep Singh, a combined nominee of the Congress and the AAP, received 12 votes.

 

Security measures have been significantly heightened in Central Delhi, with police barricading several roads leading to the Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Marg. Additional personnel have been deployed in anticipation of both the AAP’s demonstration and a separate protest by the BJP against alleged “corruption” in the Kejriwal government.

 

Roads leading to the Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Marg have been closed since the morning, and barricades have been set up near the BJP and AAP headquarters. The political standoff is unfolding against the backdrop of heightened tensions, leading to concerns about potential clashes.

 

Delhi Minister and AAP leader Atishi expressed her observations on social media platform X, noting, “Heavy barricading all across Delhi. Buses full of AAP volunteers being detained. Hundreds of paramilitary forces outside the AAP office.” She questioned the motive behind the heightened security measures, asking why the BJP appeared to be fearful of a protest regarding the Chandigarh mayoral elections.

 

Saurabh Bharadwaj, another AAP leader and cabinet colleague, released a video statement addressing the situation. He questioned whether the BJP was afraid of Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi. Bharadwaj alleged that the entire country witnessed how votes were allegedly stolen in the Chandigarh mayoral polls by the BJP. He emphasized that the protest was an opportunity for elected chief ministers, Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann, to voice their concerns and stand against what they perceive as electoral malpractice.

 

As the political tension escalates, the capital city remains on edge, with the focus on both the AAP’s planned demonstration and the BJP’s counter-protest against the Kejriwal government. The unfolding events are a testament to the complex and often confrontational nature of Indian politics.
