Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday accused the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and Lt Governor Najeeb Jung of doing politics over women's safety in Delhi.
Kejriwal's remarks followed media reports about the rape of a young woman in a car here.
"LG and PMO doing politics with women safety in Delhi. LG stopped salaries of all employees in DCW (Delhi Commission for Women). Police becomes corrupt and ineffective under them," Kejriwal tweeted.
Kejriwal and Jung have been squabbling over the appointment of a Member Secretary at the DCW. Jung later appointed IAS officer Dilraj Kaur, whose appointment was also rejected by Kejriwal.
