Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi accused the Central government of plotting to impose President's rule in Delhi to overthrow the elected government led by Arvind Kejriwal. She cited bureaucrats' refusal to attend meetings as evidence. Kejriwal's judicial custody amid money laundering allegations was seen as part of this alleged conspiracy. The Delhi High Court rebuked a petitioner seeking Kejriwal's removal, stating it lacks authority to declare a breakdown of constitutional machinery.
