Politics on the death of young man

 After this incident of Minto Road, there was a political fire in Delhi.  On Sunday morning, North Delhi Mayor Jai Prakash, while inspecting Minto Road with the corporation officials, said, 'This type of incident will continue to happen in Delhi till the Kejriwal government leaves an irresponsible attitude.  The Chief Minister should take responsibility for this and should provide assistance to the relatives of the deceased.  The government should ensure that such an incident does not happen again.

Cleaning of drains is the responsibility of MCD

 The Aam Aadmi Party blamed the BJP-ruled MCD for the waterlogging.  On BJP's accusation of death of a person due to waterlogging in Minto Bridge and BJP for not cleaning drains in Delhi, AAP MP Sanjay Singh said that BJP has to make allegations day and night in Delhi as they do not have work.  Cleaning of drains is the responsibility of MCD, PWD and Jal Board.  There was no idea it would rain suddenly

Take care during waterlogging

 Sanjay Singh said that Kundan Singh went with a small elephant amidst the waterlogging, and lost his life.  There is a need to correct the mistakes that have been made by the Delhi government in this, and the mistakes made by the MCD.

 AAP MP said that the incident of death is tragic.  If an incident like waterlogging occurs again, caution is needed during this time, so do not leave the car during the waterlogging.
