BJP’s Shahzad Poonawalla remark on AAP government following the Delhi coaching tragedy sparks political row. Bhartiya Janata Party blames Delhi’s AAP government’s negligence behind the death of two IAS aspirants who died on Saturday when water flooded the basement of a coaching institute.
Reacting to the incident, BJP Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said, “This is not an accident but a murder committed by the Aam Aadmi Party; it is criminal negligence due to which at least two girls have lost their lives…”
Referring to the recent death of another UPSC aspirant who was electrocuted while trying to cross a waterlogged street in Patel Nagar, Poonawalla said, “Many deaths have occurred in a similar manner. Do the lives of Delhiites have no value? The only priority of (Chief Minister) Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party government is to hold press conferences, give advertisements and blame others.”

Citing the waterlogging as the reason of flooding, BJP held Delhi’s AAP government responsible.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa, the national secretary of the BJP, charged that the AAP government was “siphoning off” funds intended for drain cleaning. He claimed that even an hour of rain causes flooding in Delhi.
Serious about AAP minister Atishi’s declaration of a magistrate probe into the Rajendra Nagar episode, Sirsa doubted the credibility of the probe by Arvind Kejriwal and minister saying they have “looted” Delhi.
Additionally, he blamed the AAP administration for Delhi Coaching Tragedy as two UPSC candidates died.
