Hitting back at Chief Minister Arvind Kejiwal for suggesting that the Delhi police was the "most corrupt", top cop BS Bassi on Tuesday advised the Aam Aadmi Party government to focus on its "own work" and let the police do theirs.
"The six ministers in the AAP government are facing a tough time fighting corruption; so, they have a lot of work to do," he said, adding that "the government should focus on its own work and let the police do theirs".
Citing a new survey on corruption, Kejriwal stepped up the attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he should "stop being stubborn" and hand over the Delhi police and the Anti-Corruption Branch to AAP government.
"Shocking findings Centre for Media Studies survey 2day-Del police (under Modiji n his LG) most corrupt- scathing attack on Modiji's capbilities n intentions (sic). "Modi ji stop being stubborn, work with us. Hand over the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the police to the Delhi government. We will deliver in a year," the chief minister said in a series of tweets.
According to media reports, the India Corruption Study-2015 by the CMS says that Delhi police, which comes under the Centre, is the "most corrupt" public service department in the national capital.
Bassi had on Monday slammed the AAP government's proposal for setting up 'special police stations' as "absolutely wrong". He had said that Kejriwal should instead "concentrate on areas of governance related to women safety".
