Summary:
An NGT-directed sealing drive at Mayapuri industrial area Saturday snowballed into a political row, with the ruling AAP and BJP indulging in a blame game. Claiming that traders have always been a loyal BJP vote base, Kejriwal said the party was making it clear it “no longer needs their backing”. OnTwitter, AAP sought to equate the action of security personnel to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, and criticised authorities for conducting the drive on the eve of Baisakhi. Vote for AAP so there’s no sealing in the future,” Kejriwal tweeted. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted that had Delhi been a full state, he would have halted sealing within 24 hours..
