Political Blame Game Over Rohini Slum Fire Tragedy
  • Country:
  • India

In the aftermath of a tragic fire in the Rohini slum that claimed the lives of two children, political tensions between the Aam Aadmi Party and Bharatiya Janata Party have escalated. Delhi AAP chief Saurabh Bharadwaj criticized BJP for inadequate response to the incident.

The Bharatiya Janata Party retaliated, blasting Bharadwaj for allegedly heightening tensions through suggestive comments on social media. They accused him of politicizing the tragedy by asserting that many children died in the fire, and claimed BJP leaders were prompt in their relief efforts.

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is leading efforts to deliver aid and rehabilitation to those affected. Meanwhile, bitter exchanges continue over the alleged land mafia involvement and delayed response by public safety departments.
