AAP Accuses BJP of Hypocrisy in Delhi Officers Row
There's a big argument between two political parties in India, the AAP and the BJP.
The AAP says the BJP is being unfair because they suspended two government workers in Delhi.
The AAP leader, Saurabh Bharadwaj, says that when the AAP was in charge, the BJP said the Delhi government couldn't suspend workers.
Now that the BJP is in charge, they're doing it themselves.
The AAP thinks this is hypocritical.
The BJP says that during the AAP's time, a committee and the Lieutenant Governor had to decide about suspending workers.
The AAP is upset and says the BJP is acting like a 'banana republic,' which means they think the BJP is being unfair and not following the rules.
Two Delhi government officers were suspended for alleged negligence and corruption.
AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj accused the BJP of hypocrisy for suspending officers, claiming the BJP previously denied the Delhi government this authority.
During AAP's rule, the Lieutenant Governor and NCCSA had the power to suspend officers, according to the BJP.
The suspension sparked a heated debate between the BJP and AAP over control of Delhi's bureaucracy.
The BJP-led federal government has been in control of Delhi since the 2025 election, ending AAP's 11-year tenure.
