Arvind Kejriwal has gone from claiming that the BJP wants to assassinate him to declaring that He can die for India
After accusing the BJP of planning to assassinate Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi chief minister now claims that he is willing to die for the country.
“Arvind Kejriwal is not significant, but the country is.” “I am willing to lay down my life for the country,” Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said on Thursday, a day after BJP youth wing workers protested outside his residence over his disparaging remarks about the film “The Kashmir Files,” which depicts the unspeakable atrocities perpetrated against Kashmiri Pandits and their subsequent exodus from the Valley.
In an attempt to delegitimize the protests and cover up his offensive remarks on ‘The Kashmir Files,’ Kejriwal referred to the demonstrations as “hooliganism” on Wednesday.
“If the country’s largest party (a reference to the BJP) resorts to such misbehavior, it will send a negative message to the people,” Kejriwal warned. People would believe that this is the best method to handle any situation.”
The BJP’s youth branch organizes a protest outside Kejriwal’s home, while the AAP declares that the CM is in danger.
Supporters of the BJP’s youth wing gathered outside CM Arvind Kejriwal’s residence on March 30 to express their anger at his remarks in the Delhi Assembly, in which he referred to ‘The Kashmir Files,’ a video portraying the atrocities endured by Kashmiri Pandits, as a film based on lies. After that, Kejriwal took a shot at the requests to make the picture tax-free, suggesting that film director and producer Vivek Agnihotri release it for free on YouTube.
BJP youth organization workers, together with BJYM national president Tejasvi Surya as well as Delhi BJP spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, led a protest outside the Delhi CM’s residence in response to Kejriwal’s callous remarks on ‘The Kashmir Files,’ which was later dubbed by Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia as an attempt to kill Arvind Kejriwal.
Hundreds of Kashmiri Pandits organized a protest outside Kejriwal’s house later in the day in response to his harsh statements about ‘The Kashmir Files.’
After humiliating Kashmiri Pandits, the AAP shifts to denial and makes bogus assertions about teachers’ jobs.
It’s worth noting that Arvind Kejriwal is no stranger to publicity-seeking stunts. From swearing by his children to offering prayers at temples, he has used a variety of gimmicks to entice, appease, or seduce his supporters and portray himself as the pinnacle of a conscientious leader, while portraying his opponents as corrupt, dishonest, and crooked. After outcry erupted after his insensitive remarks in the Delhi Assembly on ‘The Kashmir Files,’ he attempted to defuse the situation by stating that his government had aided Kashmiri Pandits by regularising teachers from their community.
Meanwhile, the Kashmiri Pandit teachers’ union refuted his assertions, issuing a thorough news release with a timeline of court cases detailing how his government steadfastly refused to hire them. Government School Teachers Association (Migrant) Regd declared in a press release that they “strongly oppose” the Delhi CM’s declaration that “it was the Delhi Government that regularised the employment of Kashmiri Migrant Teachers” (KMT). The statement, signed by Dilip Bhan, the teachers’ association’s Coordinator, outlined the sequence of legal battles that led to the Supreme Court’s decision ordering the Delhi government to hire them.
Potholes and traffic congestion on the Uran route could make the festival journey difficult for thousands of devotees.
The Roads
With Ganeshotsav approaching, thousands of devotees from Mumbai and Navi Mumbai are preparing to travel to their hometowns in Konkan. However, poor road conditions along the Uran route have raised concerns about their journey.
Several stretches, including parts of the Mumbai–Goa National Highway and the Khopate Bridge, are reportedly affected by potholes. The Gavanphata–Chirner–Kharpada route is also in need of repairs, raising fears of slower traffic and longer travel times during the busy festival period. Traffic congestion has already been reported on the Chirner–Gavanphata–Dighode stretch. With a significant increase in vehicles expected during Ganeshotsav, residents fear that the existing problems could become even worse.
Roads maintained by CIDCO and the Public Works Department (PWD) have also come under scrutiny. The Khopate–Koproli road, in particular, has several potholes, while unauthorised parking in some areas is further adding to traffic difficulties. For many families travelling to Konkan for Ganeshotsav, the journey is an important part of the festival. Residents have therefore urged authorities to repair the damaged roads before the rush begins.
Meanwhile, Uran traffic police are preparing measures to manage the expected increase in traffic and minimise congestion during the festival.
Court seeks a clear plan to prevent new unauthorised structures as civic authorities step up action.
The Constructions
The Bombay High Court has sought answers from the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) over the growing issue of illegal constructions in the city. The court has asked the civic body what concrete steps it plans to take over the next three months to prevent new unauthorised structures from coming up.
According to claims made before the court, Navi Mumbai has around 4,000 illegal constructions. Since the court’s June 16, 2026 order, NMMC has taken action against 88 structures, including 43 in Airoli. Officials said another 25 structures had been acted against by September 7.
However, NMMC told the court that its demolition drive could face challenges in the coming months due to staff being engaged in Special Intensive Revision (SIR) work and preparations for upcoming festivals. During the hearing, petitioners also alleged that some illegal structures in Airoli were being spared because of political pressure. CIDCO, meanwhile, clarified that the areas in question fall under NMMC’s jurisdiction.
The court has scheduled the next hearing after three weeks. For residents concerned about unauthorised construction in their neighbourhoods, the proceedings could be significant, as the civic body is now expected to show how it intends to prevent fresh violations rather than simply act after structures are built.
Candidates who appeared for the civic body’s recruitment exam can check their scores from September 11 after a long wait.
The Exam
Candidates waiting for the results of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) recruitment exam finally have some good news. The civic body is set to release the exam scorecards on September 11, 2026, bringing an end to a long wait for thousands of applicants.
The recruitment drive was announced for 668 posts across 30 categories. A total of around 84,774 candidates applied, while 68,149 candidates appeared for the online examination held in July 2025. The release of the results had been delayed due to a legal dispute involving contractual employees working with NMMC. The employees had approached the Bombay High Court seeking protection for their jobs, following which the court had directed the civic body to hold back the examination scores.
The situation changed after the court allowed NMMC to proceed with the recruitment process while ensuring that the existing contractual employees would not lose their current service. Accordingly, NMMC will now publish the scorecards for all 30 categories on its official website on September 11.
There are currently around 477 contractual employees in the civic body. Their positions will be protected, while appointments to the remaining vacancies will proceed according to the recruitment process and the court’s final decision. For candidates who have been waiting for more than a year, the scorecard release will be an important step towards knowing their chances of securing a job with NMMC.
