The BJP under Prime Minister Narendra Modi symbolises credibility while the AAP and other opposition leaders symbolise the crisis facing it, the Rajya Sabha leader alleged.

He accused the Aam Aadmi Party leaders of playing an 'important role' in creating a crisis of credibility in Indian politics and claimed that it is the conduct of the likes of him that causes distrust among people about the political class. Trivedi hit out at Kejriwal, quoting a 2013 tweet of him in which he had targeted the then Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit for allegedly having 10 ACs in her house when so many people lived in slums. Investing in places like these presents an effective place-based solution for the crime, disconnection, and polarization we are experiencing in our current cultural climate.New Delhi, May 5 (PTI) The BJP on Friday fired a fresh salvo at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal amid the row over the Rs 45 crore expenditure on his residence, comparing him with the likes of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in terms of 'luxury' linked to their 'palaces'.īJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi played videos of Kejriwal's old statements in which he presented himself as a crusader against political leaders spending public money on maintaining expensive lifestyles, including big houses, and luxurious cars. He argues that we would be wise to invest in these places of social infrastructure, such as libraries, parks, schools, and churches because they are accessible to everyone and provide tangible resources to the community while encouraging the formation of social bonds. Klinenberg contends that libraries, in particular, have played a valuable social infrastructure role in our local neighborhoods. He has studied how the presence of social infrastructure or the lack thereof can have direct implications on the well-being and resiliency of our local communities. Klinenberg is a sociologist at NYU who coined the term 'social infrastructure' to capture the idea that shared physical places shape the way people act and the relationships people develop. Are there physical conditions that determine whether we develop social connections? Why should we invest in this type of 'social infrastructure'? In Episode 6 of Season 3, Sara Joy digs into these questions with Eric as he leads listeners through the book Palaces for the People by Eric Klinenberg.
