Kejriwal govt’s ‘negligence’ responsible for deaths related to waterlogging: BJP

New Delhi: Citing death of a seven-year-old boy who drowned in a drain in Wazirpur area, the BJP on Monday alleged that the Kejriwal government’s “negligence” was responsible for several deaths related to waterlogging.

No immediate reaction was available from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over the BJP’s allegations. “It is regrettable that whether it is death by drowning in waterlogged places or drains, or by electric shocks, ministers and MLAs of the Kejriwal government always try to shift the blame on the officials, attempting to absolve themselves of responsibility,” said Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva.

“Whether it is Atishi, who is the minister for both the PWD and the Water Board, or Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi or Manish Sisodia who was recently released on bail - all are quick to comment on every issue in the country except the growing accidents in

Delhi due to administrative negligence,” he charged.
