BJP intensified its criticism of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) after Delhi Police revealed that their investigation into bomb threats to schools in the capital had identified a juvenile involved.

AAP MP Sanjay Singh on Tuesday accused the BJP of “politicising” the bomb threats received by schools in Delhi in May 2024. Singh’s statement came after the Delhi Police investigation into the threats revealed that the suspect was a juvenile. He expressed concern that the BJP was using the situation to target the Aam Aadmi Party instead of focusing on resolving the issue.

Singh emphasized that the matter was a serious concern for the safety and security of students, and it should be handled with sensitivity, without turning it into a political issue. He questioned the BJP’s motives and stressed that the real focus should be on ensuring the safety of children and preventing such incidents in the future.

This statement follows the BJP’s increased criticism of the AAP, especially after Delhi Police made the juvenile arrest in connection with the bomb threats. The BJP has raised questions about the handling of the situation by the Delhi government and AAP leaders, accusing them of failing to address public safety concerns effectively.

AAP MP Sanjay Singh’s Statement on BJP’s Allegations:

In a strong statement, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Member of Parliament (MP) Sanjay Singh accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of politicizing the issue surrounding the threats to school children. Singh pointed out that the first threat had been issued as early as May 2024, but it took almost nine months for any statement or investigation to be initiated by the Delhi Police.

Singh criticized BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi for holding a press conference and making claims about different NGOs and the threat situation, suggesting that Trivedi was fabricating stories. Singh further questioned why no investigation had been conducted for months, but just 15 days before the elections, BJP was suddenly bringing up these issues, implying a political motive behind the timing of the revelations.

The AAP MP emphasized that the BJP was attempting to manipulate the situation for political gain, especially as the elections were approaching, and accused them of trying to divert attention from more pressing concerns.

This statement by AAP MP Sanjay Singh comes in response to the BJP’s intensified criticism of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), following the Delhi Police’s announcement that their investigation into the bomb threats targeting schools in the national capital had led to the identification of a juvenile suspect.

The BJP, which had already been raising concerns over the handling of the case, seized on the police’s development, accusing the AAP government of negligence and mishandling the situation. The BJP’s attack gained momentum after the revelation, with party leaders, including Sudhanshu Trivedi, calling the incident into question and alleging that the Delhi government had failed to address the safety concerns of schoolchildren adequately.

In his response, Sanjay Singh, while addressing the BJP’s claims, emphasized that the investigation, though involving a juvenile, was being politicized by the opposition, and pointed out that it was being highlighted at a crucial time—just weeks before the elections. Singh’s remarks underline his assertion that the BJP was using the situation for political leverage, rather than focusing on the investigation’s resolution.

Sanjay Singh’s Response to Sudhanshu Trivedi’s Press Conference:

In a recent press conference, AAP MP Sanjay Singh took a direct swipe at BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi and Delhi Police Commissioner for allegedly politicizing the issue. Singh criticized Trivedi, questioning the accuracy of his statements and suggesting that the Delhi Police Commissioner had been revealing details that were not even known to the police. Singh remarked, “Few hours back, you must have watched the press conference of Delhi Police Commissioner Sudhanshu Trivedi. He has been appointed as Delhi Police Commissioner and he is disclosing new things every day. The things that are not even known by the police.”

Singh’s statement was aimed at pointing out the contradictions in Trivedi’s press conference and accusing the BJP of using law enforcement as a platform for political attacks. He implied that Trivedi’s disclosures were more about political rhetoric than factual developments in the investigation.

BJP’s Allegations Against AAP:

Earlier, BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi had raised a series of allegations against the AAP, accusing the party of having deep connections with several “unwanted NGOs” involved in anti-national activities. Trivedi pointed to the hanging of Afzal Guru and the infamous “Tukde-Tukde” slogans raised in February 2015 as part of his argument, questioning the AAP’s ties to such organizations. He also claimed that AAP had suppressed the file related to Afzal Guru’s death anniversary for months, fueling further suspicion.

Trivedi went on to suggest that the involvement of certain NGOs in the recent bomb threat cases needed deeper investigation to uncover possible links with the AAP. He asked, “Now the question is getting deeper: who is that NGO, do they have any relation with Aam Aadmi Party?”

Sanjay Singh’s Counter-Argument:

In response, Singh dismissed these allegations as baseless, accusing the BJP of making sweeping and unfounded claims to discredit the AAP, particularly ahead of the upcoming elections. He stressed that the BJP’s attacks were an attempt to manipulate the narrative and distract from the real issues at hand.

Sudhanshu Trivedi’s Allegations Against AAP:

BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi, in a press statement, directly targeted AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, demanding clarity over the party’s alleged ties with individuals involved in the recent bomb threat case uncovered by Delhi Police. Trivedi, escalating the political rhetoric ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, said, “Kejriwalji keeps speaking rubbish every now and then, but today I want to ask him… what ties do you have with them?” His statement was aimed at pressuring Kejriwal to explain the AAP’s connections with the people allegedly linked to the threat case, fueling the ongoing political debate.

Trivedi’s remarks added to the ongoing controversy surrounding the investigation, which had earlier led to the identification of a juvenile suspect. Trivedi, expanding on his accusations, connected the current case with broader political and national security issues, referring to Afzal Guru’s hanging and the 2015 “Tukde-Tukde” slogans to imply that the AAP may be associated with anti-national elements. This served as a way for Trivedi to question not only the safety concerns surrounding Delhi’s schools but also the integrity of the AAP and its leadership.

Delhi Assembly Polls and Political Timing:

The timing of these allegations is crucial, with Delhi’s Assembly elections just around the corner. The elections are scheduled to be held in a single phase on February 5, and the counting of votes will take place on February 8. The BJP’s intensified attacks against AAP and its leadership seem strategically timed to sway voters and cast doubt on Kejriwal’s leadership ahead of the polls. As both parties gear up for the elections, the exchange of political barbs continues to dominate the discourse.
