The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday trained guns at Arvind Kejriwal for blaming Prime Minster Narendra Modi and Lt  Governor Najeeb Jung for 'complete jungle raj' in Delhi and said that it was the chief minister who is responsible for chaos in the national capital.

BJP leader Satish Upadhyay said, "Whatever chaos there is in Delhi or if there is no governance or like he says that there is jungle raj in Delhi, Kejriwal ji himself is responsible for all this. It is strange that he is saying all these things. Does he have time for Delhi? He keeps on roaming in Punjab and Goa. He is not ready to take responsibility for anything."

"It's been one and half year but governance in Delhi has not at all improved. Delhi is reeling under water and electricity crisis. No schools are being built in Delhi, it is facing traffic problem, there is pollution, elderly are not getting pensions, MCD workers are not being paid so who is responsible for this jungle raj," he added.

He was reacting to Kejriwal's tweet, blaming the Centre and the Lieutenant General for deteriorating law and order situation in the national capital.

"Complete jungle raj in Delhi. LG/Modiji failed miserably. What have they done to control deteriorating law and order?" Kejriwal tweeted.

His comments came a day after a 50-year-old woman and her two daughters, aged 19 and nine, were found murdered at their house in Delhi's Brahmapuri area.

Separately, a four-year-old girl was allegedly raped by an 11-year-old boy in Mangolpuri area.

Delhi Police is under the Central government in the capital, not to the city government headed by Kejriwal.
