AAP blames BJP Govt for Janakpuri biker’s death
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) held the BJP Government directly responsible for the tragic death of a young biker who fell into a pit dug on a road in Janakpuri. Drawing parallels with last month’s Noida incident, in which a software engineer died after falling into a drain, the AAP said the biker lay in the pit through the night and died after prolonged suffering. The party said that despite the family approaching multiple police stations across Delhi, no help was provided, and launched a sharp attack on the BJP over what it described as a complete failure of governance.
In a post on X, the former Delhi chief minister alleged that the BJP learnt nothing from the incident in Noida where a young software engineer died after drowning in a waterlogged plot last month. “The BJP has learned nothing, even from the Noida incident. Extreme negligence and an utterly irresponsible attitude have now become the hallmark of BJP governments, and it is the common people who are paying the price for it,” Kejriwal charged. He expressed his condolences to the bereaved family, saying their child was lost due to “negligence” of the Delhi government.
Delhi AAP president Saurabh Bharadwaj also slammed the BJP, accusing it of dishing out “routine lies”. Addressing a press conference at the AAP headquarters on Friday, Delhi state President Saurabh Bharadwaj said the Janakpuri incident must be viewed in the context of the recent Noida case.
“A few days ago, an engineer died a painful death in Noida due to the negligence of the administration and the BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh government,” he said.
A 25-year-old motorcyclist, Kamal, died on Friday morning after falling into a pit dug for construction work by the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) in the Janakpuri area, police said.
Kamal, a resident of Kailashpuri, worked at the call centre of a private bank, they said, adding that preliminary investigation suggests the pit was dug at a DJB construction site and was barricaded. The victim’s family has alleged negligence on the part of the DJB and also suspects foul play in his death.
