Delhi govt's ‘pro-people agenda’ making Centre ‘insecure’: AAP Reacting to the development, the AAP said in a statement released by party spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj that the Delhi government’s “pro-people agenda” was making Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government “insecure.” The AAP cited the Delhi government’s doorstep delivery of services scheme that was launched last week as a part of that agenda. “The current Chief Secretary was posted in Delhi by the Centre with a clear brief of paralysing the Delhi government. The fake FIR by him and subsequent bogus charge sheet by the Modi government-controlled Delhi Police are parts of a larger design to malign the Delhi government,” the statement said.
