Political activity in New Delhi has intensified amid strict security arrangements and restrictions around Jantar Mantar on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. In this sequence, a video of Delhi AAP chief Saurabh Bharadwaj has become a major talking point on the social media platform 'X'. In the video, he is seen talking about his journey and the security restrictions in place.
Shared by news agency PTI, the video features Saurabh Bharadwaj stating that he was able to reach Jantar Mantar from his home without a car, scooter, or any vehicle. He added that while nearby metro stations are closed, commuters can get off at stations that are still operational.
Against the backdrop of this event, heavy security measures were witnessed across key political hubs in the national capital. According to reports, the police administration was on high alert to control or prevent various demonstrations on Gandhi Jayanti. During the same period, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Manoj Jha was detained by police while heading towards Jantar Mantar for a demonstration, where he reacted strongly from inside a police van.
Following the emergence of this video on social media, mixed reactions have poured in from users and the general public. While political analysts view this in the context of administrative restrictions and leaders' movements in the capital, citizens continue to debate the inconveniences caused by the closure of metro stations and public transport routes. Overall, the developments at Jantar Mantar on Gandhi Jayanti remain a focal point of discussion.
