NEW DELHI: Days after two minors were raped in the capital, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Sunday that he was not Sheila Dikshit and would not allow the Prime Minister to sleep peacefully if crime against women continues.

"The Prime Minister must understand I am not Sheila Dikshit. I will not remain silent. We will not allow the Prime Minister to sleep peacefully if women in Delhi do not get proper safety and the present trend of rapes continues, that is guaranteed," he said after meeting lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung along with police commissioner B S Bassi .

The statement was in reference to the comments made by former Delhi CM Dikshit on Saturday where she accused Kejriwal of playing politics over the issue by constantly blaming the Centre without taking any responsibility.

Till Congress was in power, Kejriwal was at the forefront of protests against the state, accusing Dikshit of heading a helpless government if the blame for the law and order situation was to be put on the Centre which holds the reins of Delhi Police .

On Sunday, Jung met Kejriwal and Bassi to discuss the state of affairs in light of the crimes. The chief minister has also called a special cabinet meeting on Monday to discuss measures that can be taken to improve women's safety.

The CM told Jung that if the Prime Minister had time to travel to Australia, America, London and Japan, why could he not find time to visit the rape victims. "I would urge him to please visit them. I was pained that the police commissioner, the LG and even home minister Rajnath Singh did not visit the victims," he said.

Kejriwal reiterated his demand that Delhi Police be transferred to the state, at least for a year. "Since January, 3,500 children have been kidnapped in Delhi. There has been a jungle raj since Modi formed government at the Centre. For one year, give control of the police to Delhi government at least in Trans-Yamuna and keep the VIP areas. Like we cleaned Delhi of corruption, we will also clean up the law and order situation. Let the Centre do what it wants, we will do whatever we can," he said.

The LG has conceded that details of beat constables should be made public after Kejriwal alleged that he asked for information on them but Bassi refused to part with details. Kejriwal also hinted at corruption within the police department by saying that the same 200 inspectors continued to remain SHOs though there are 1,600 inspectors in Delhi.

Meanwhile, hashtag #IAmArvind started trending on twitter after the CM's "I am not Sheila Dikshit" comment. Abhinav, social media in-charge, AAP said: "The hashtag was started with an intent to raise our voice on the issue of Delhi Police's accountability. We don't trend for the sake of trending but to raise concerns and educate citizens. Delhi Police is not under the elected government but under an appointed LG. Nobody voted for the LG whereas Kejriwal is an elected representative."
