Atishi defends Delhi officials against BJP Minister's accusations
Delhi's political scene is becoming tense. Atishi, a leader from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), is defending government officials after a BJP minister made strong accusations against them. Atishi says the officials have worked hard for over ten years, contributing to important projects like new hospitals and the Signature Bridge. She believes the comments from Minister Parvesh Verma are not true and are meant to undermine the officials. The issues began when Verma suspended an executive engineer from the Public Works Department during an inspection of drainage systems in the city. He claimed officers had become "thick-skinned" and promised to hold them responsible for any failures. In response, Atishi accused BJP ministers of seeking bribes on projects. She argued that they are pressuring officials who do not comply with their demands. The conflict highlights growing tensions between the AAP and the BJP in Delhi.
