Political Uproar Over Deaths at Delhi's Asha Kiran Shelter Home

Controversy erupts as members of Congress and BJP criticize the Aam Aadmi Party over the deaths at Asha Kiran Shelter Home in Delhi. Allegations of negligence, overcrowding, and lack of basic facilities have come to the forefront, prompting calls for immediate action and comprehensive investigations.

Launching scathing attacks on the Delhi Government over deaths in Asha Kiran Shelter Home, Congress leader Abhishek Dutt highlighted overcrowding and insufficient medical care, claiming government hospitals are only for publicity.
