Arvind Kejriwal criticizes Goa's Chief Minister Pramod Sawant over a tragic nightclub fire incident in Arpora, highlighting corruption and the need for government accountability. He alleges the club operated illegally due to bribery, demanding a public apology and increased safety measures.

Arvind Kejriwal, leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, has sharply criticized Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant for the tragic nightclub fire in Arpora that resulted in 25 deaths last week.

Addressing a public gathering in South Goa, Kejriwal accused the nightclub of operating without necessary permits by bribing government officials. He questioned Goa's administration, alleging pervasive corruption and stressing the urgent need for a public apology from Sawant.

Kejriwal further claimed the club had bypassed essential legal requirements, maintaining operations through regular bribes despite demolition orders. He urged for a focus on safety across establishments, drawing a stark contrast with development efforts in Punjab by AAP.
