'Big drama': Congress slams Kejriwal's resignation, CM residence exit for misleading voters

Delhi Congress president Devender Yadav Thursday termed former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s promise to leave his official residence a “big drama” staged to mislead people, and said he should have left the house as soon as he quit. Yadav claimed that Kejriwal quit as CM because he knew that he would face a rout in the Assembly elections in early 2025.

If Kejriwal was really keen to leave his official residence at the Civil Lines area, he should have vacated it immediately after he quit as the CM without creating a big drama to mislead the people, Yadav alleged.

He visited the building collapse site in Karol Bagh’s Bapa Nagar area where four people died and 14 others sustained injuries after the structure housing a slipper factory and residential accommodation collapsed.

The Delhi government should pay suitable compensation to the families of the victims, though no amount can compensate for the loss of a dear one, he stated.

He demanded a probe to fix responsibility, and to prevent recurrence of such mishaps.

Several buildings in Delhi are in a dangerous state due to illegal and faulty construction, and the government should take prompt action to prevent such mishaps, he added.
