Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party has strongly condemned Delhi Minister Ashish Sood following a tragic accident in Janakpuri, where a young man lost his life after falling into a pothole. The incident has reignited concerns over government negligence and the deteriorating state of public infrastructure.
AAP Delhi state convenor Saurabh, addressing the issue, said, “Just a few days ago, a similar tragedy occurred in Noida due to administrative negligence. Now, the same has happened in Janakpuri, right in the heart of Ashish Sood’s own constituency.”
