Political unrest and government criticism in Delhi

Overview

Political tension in Delhi has escalated from concerns over public safety to accusations of democratic erosion. Initially, Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi criticized the government following the gang rape and murder of a 17-year-old girl, questioning the accountability of the Delhi Police and the government’s ability to protect women.

This criticism shifted toward broader political grievances following significant police action against Gen Z protesters at Jantar Mantar. Priyanka Gandhi accused the central government of operating under a ‘Modi-Shah dictatorship’ after authorities used barricades, suspended rail and metro services, and shut down internet access to prevent demonstrations. The crackdown resulted in the detention of approximately 3,500 individuals, including several prominent political leaders such as Mamata Banerjee, Pinarayi Vijayan, and Arvind Kejriwal.
