In yet another chilling reminder of Delhi’s deteriorating law and order under the BJP’s so-called ‘four-engine’ government, fresh bomb threats targeting schools and colleges have left students and parents gripped by fear. After two schools received threats on Monday, St. Thomas School and St. Stephen’s College were threatened on Tuesday, raising alarm across the city.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has slammed the BJP-led administration for its utter failure to ensure basic safety in the national capital. AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Delhi Assembly, Atishi, said the threats have created a climate of fear among children and anxiety among families, declaring that “all four engines of the BJP government have failed.”
In the wake of threats reported at Delhi’s St. Thomas School and St. Stephen’s College on Tuesday—just a day after similar threats were sent to two other schools—AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal took to X to demand accountability. “What is happening in Delhi under BJP rule? On Monday, two schools received bomb threats. On Tuesday, yet another school and a college were threatened. Children are terrified, parents are deeply anxious. BJP’s four-engine governments have failed completely,” Arvind Kejriwal wrote.
Delhi Assembly LoP Atishi called the situation “deeply alarming.” She wrote on X: “It is horrifying that schools and colleges in Delhi are repeatedly receiving bomb threats. Children are living in fear, parents are disturbed. The four BJP governments responsible for Delhi’s security have failed miserably. Do they care nothing for the safety of children? Law and order in Delhi has collapsed.”
MCD LoP Ankush Narang echoed the concern and wrote: “If even schools aren’t safe in the national capital, then what is? Day after day, bomb threats are being made to schools and colleges. Parents are sending their children to school with fear in their hearts. And yet, despite BJP’s so-called four-engine governance, there is no security. All four BJP engines have failed.”
The Aam Aadmi Party also pointed out that similar threats were sent to Delhi’s Navy School in Chanakyapuri and CRPF School in Dwarka Sector 16 just a day earlier. “A few months ago, too, schools across Delhi were repeatedly threatened with bomb attacks. At the time, AAP had raised serious concerns about the deteriorating law-and-order situation and demanded corrective action. But the BJP paid no heed then—and today, the same dangerous pattern has returned. What exactly are BJP’s four engines doing when even the children of Delhi no longer feel safe?” the party said in a statement.
