AAP slams Delhi CM Rekha Gupta as Racha Yadav is murdered in her constituency; party criticizes lack of response to women’s safety concerns.
Delhi : The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has sharply criticized Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta following the murder of Racha Yadav in broad daylight in the ward where Ms. Gupta once served as a councilor and from the assembly constituency she represents as MLA.
AAP leaders condemned the Chief Minister for not visiting the grieving family or publicly addressing the incident, calling it a serious lapse in leadership and empathy. “Does CM Rekha Gupta realize her responsibilities?” asked an AAP spokesperson. “This is a heinous crime against a woman, and yet the Chief Minister has not taken the time to meet the family or provide reassurance to the community.”
