Center Vs States

Condemning the rapes of three young girls in Delhi in the last one week, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said the Delhi Police has "completely failed" to provide safety to women in the city and once again demanded that its control be transferred from the Centre to the state government.

As the Centre patted itself on the back for what it called timely action to contain prices for essential food items such as pulses, onions and potatoes, Opposition-ruled states who attended a meeting in the capital were clearly not impressed. They accused the BJP-led NDA government of not doing enough to help the common man.
