AAP vs BJP Over Punjab Cops' Security Cover For Arvind Kejriwal

The Aam Aadmi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party went head-to-head Friday with the Delhi Assembly election less than two weeks away. The clash, though, wasn't over public infrastructure, education, health services, or cost of living in the national capital; it was over the Punjab Police withdrawing additional security cover for AAP boss Arvind Kejriwal.

The police force from the neighbouring state - which is also ruled by the AAP - had been providing the ex-Chief Minister with a security detail, in addition to that from Delhi Police.

But it withdrawn last night after Delhi cops complained to the Election Commission. "Following directions from Delhi Police and Election Commission, we have withdrawn..." Punjab Police chief Gaurav Yadav said, adding details of any threats would be shared with his Delhi counterparts.
