New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena indulged in a war of words on Twitter again and this time it's over the law-and-order situation in Delhi.

The war started with Kejriwal's tweet saying: "The law and order situation in Delhi had deteriorated a lot last year. It is good to know that the LG is finally holding a meeting on it. The LG should focus on law and order and hold such meetings frequently."

Saxena in his response wrote: "The Chief Minister will be happy to know that I review the law and order situation with the Commissioner of Police/Special Commissioners every week. Despite the challenges, the Delhi Police is doing a commendable job. Reasonable praise and condemnation of the police is a part of my inclusive-neutral working style. Hope you will also learn."

Within minutes, Kejriwal replied, "I wonder if you are satisfied with the law and order situation in Delhi. In the last 1 year, the law and order situation has become very bad. People have started feeling very insecure. It means whatever is being done is not enough. Instead of stopping the work of the people of Delhi everyday, instead of doing politics, pay attention to this."

The Centre controls the law and order department in Delhi.

The law-and-order situation has been a major bone of contention between the ruling Aam Aadmi Party and the Lieutenant Governor.

Over the last months, the national capital has seen a rise in crimes that made headlines including the murder of Shraddha Walkar by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala and the hit-and-drag case that caused the death of a 22-year-old on the New Year's Day.
