AAP govt has crackdown gangsters and mafia
An Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson said that it is for the first time that such a stern action has been taken against the police officials by the state government for negligence in the duty, which again clear the intent of the Mann government that it will not tolerate any kind of shadiness. While successive governments have patronised the gangsters and mafia, the AAP government has crackdown on it and state will be soon made free of it soon.
