PM turns a blind eye to the anarchy; rather nudges chaos & disorder.
People of Delhi are the victims, as this drama plays out.

The Congress chief accused PM of nudging chaos and disorder. “PM turns a blind eye to the anarchy; rather nudges chaos and disorder,” he wrote.
His tweets have been incisive since the election days when the two targeted each other in election campaigns last few months.
PM Modi’s birthday wish was an exact copy of his last year’s tweet. It did not include #HappyBirthdayRahulGandhi, used by several Congress leaders to wish their president.
