Arvind Kejriwal, national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and former Delhi CM, has been known for his government’s initiatives on free electricity, water, and improving public infrastructure — including installing CCTV cameras in Delhi localities for women’s safety.
In 2019-2020, the Delhi government (under Kejriwal’s leadership) launched a massive project to install 1.4 lakh CCTV cameras in markets, residential colonies, and government schools. These cameras were sourced from multiple vendors — not a single “Kejriwal” brand.
Rumours and clickbait content creators began pairing “Kejriwal” with “CCTV” to attract views. Some even falsely claimed that these government-installed cameras come with a default WiFi password like “kejriwal123” or “aap@delhi.”
Fact check: Government-installed cameras are part of secured networks, do not broadcast open WiFi, and do not use politician names as passwords. Any claim of a universal “Kejriwal password” is false and likely dangerous (phishing or hacking attempt).
This style focuses on the technical and governance aspects, suitable for a professional audience.

While the specific password is likely a matter of internal bureaucracy (and not public information), the viral nature of the topic highlights a critical gap in our digital infrastructure discourse: Security by Design. kejriwal cctv camera wifi password
When governments deploy thousands of IoT devices like CCTV cameras, the security protocols are paramount. It raises important questions for urban planners and technologists:
The security of a smart city is only as strong as its weakest link. Whether you support the initiative or not, the technical integrity of public safety infrastructure must be above political point-scoring.
What are your thoughts on balancing public surveillance with cybersecurity hygiene?

Cybersecurity experts point out that the meme inadvertently raises a real issue: IoT device security in public infrastructure.
