Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], July 28 (ANI): BJP leader V Muraleedharan said that the deaths of three students in the basement flooding of a coaching institute showed the “pitiable state” of the Delhi administration.
“This shows the pitiable state of the Delhi administration. The AAP, which is ruling the corporation and Delhi government, did not make sure that the basic amenities are arranged before giving permission for such institutions to come up,” Muraleedharan said while speaking to ANI on Sunday.
Congress general secretary also Priyanka Gandhi called the incident “the height of negligence and mismanagement.”
In a post on X, Priyanka Gandhi said that the incident of the deaths of three students due to flooding in the basement of a coaching institute in Delhi is heartbreaking.
“This is criminal and irresponsible. Accountability for this should be fixed and most importantly, every construction, every activity that is illegal and life-threatening should be rectified in the areas where competitive students live,” the post mentioned.
BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla hit out at the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government for “criminal negligence” and held the ruling party responsible for the deaths.
“It is not just an accident, it is a murder committed by the Aam Aadmi Party. It is criminal negligence. The question is who will take the responsibility. There have been several deaths. Do the lives of the people of Delhi hold no value?,” Poonawalla asked in a self-made video.
Delhi police on Sunday arrested two persons, the owner and coordinator of the IAS coaching centre, where basement flooding due to rains claimed lives of three students in Delhi’s Old Rajinder Nagar.
According to the police, the victims have been identified as Shreya Yadav, a native of Ambedkar Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh, Tanya Soni from Telangana; and Nivin Dalwin, a resident of Kerala’s Ernakulam.
The incident comes days after a UPSC aspirant was electrocuted on a waterlogged street in the national capital. (ANI)
