புதுடெல்லியில் கெஜ்ரிவால் தலைமையிலான ஆம் ஆத்மி கட்சி ஆட்சி செய்து வருகிறது. கெஜ்ரிவால் கட்சியில் 6 மந்திரிகள் இடம் பெற்றுள்ளனர். 6 பேரில் ஒருவர் ராக்கி பிர்லா என் பெண்ணும் ஒருவர். இவர் பெண்கள் மற்றும் குழந்தைகள் நலத்துறை அமைச்சராக இருக்கிறார்.
இன்று இவர் டெல்லியின் மங்கோல்புரி பகுதியில் காரில் சென்று கொண்டிருந்தார். அப்போது அவர் சென்ற கார் பொதுமக்களால் முற்றுகையிடப்பட்டது. அப்போது கூடட்டதில் இருந்த அடையாளம் தெரியாத நபர்களால் அவர் கார் தாக்கப்பட்டது.
இதுகுறித்து அவரிடம் கேட்டபோது, இந்த தாக்குதலால் நாங்கள் பின்வாங்க மாட்டோம். போலீஸ் பாதுகாப்பு எனக்கு தேவையில்லை என்று கூறினார்.

Delhi: AAP minister Rakhi Birla’s car attacked
Delhi Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Rakhi Birla’s car has been reportedly attacked by some unknown people here on Sunday evening. According to the initial reports, the ministers car was surrounded by a group of people in Mangolpuri area here which is surprisingly her own constituency.”Rakhi Birla’s car was surrounded by a crowd that smashed the windscreen of her car. No injuries have been reported till now,” police said. However, immediately after the incident, when asked by reporters whether she will take security, Birla said she will not seek any police protection. “I will not take any security. This is a decision based on our principle. I am not scared and I will keep working for people’s welfare,” she said. Notably, the 26-year-old Rakhi is the only female face in the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s Cabinet. Rakhi holds Delhi’s Women and Child Social Welfare Department. According to the police, Rakhi was returning after attending a function in R block of Mangolpuri area when her car was attacked. “Our party leader Santosh Koli had sacrificed her life for the society. We are committed to serve the people. I draw inspiration from Santosh Koli and will not be scared by any such incidents,” Birla said. Three other party workers were accompanying Birla in the car when the incident took place. After the incident Birla had visited Mangolpuri police station and filed a complaint. She had defeated Congress’ heavy weight Raj Kumar Chauhan to win the Mangolpuri seat in the recent Delhi Assembly polls. 28-year-old AAP leader Santosh Koli, who was to contest the assembly polls, had died in August last year at a Gurgaon hospital after she was injured in a road accident. The fatal accident took place on June 30 last year when Santosh was riding to the party office with a fellow party member and a car rammed the two-wheeler from the back near Pacific Mall in Kaushambi in Ghaziabad and sped away. She had sustained severe brain injuries in the accident. In the first cabinet meeting presided by Chief Minister Kejriwal, it was decided that no ministers and officials in Delhi Government will use red beacon. The cabinet had also decided that no PSOs and escort vehicle will be provided to any officials and security will be allowed based on threat perception. AAP, in its manifesto, had promised to end VIP culture in Delhi. Meanwhile, Birla had a hectic schedule today. She first went to the studio of a news channel for live telecast after which she attended a meeting on the working of Mohalla Sabha in Mangolpuri. Thereafter, at 5.30 PM, she went to Santoshi Mata Mandir in Mangolpuri for a programme and at 6.15 PM when she was returning from the temple, the incident of attack took place in the crowded area.
