BJP poses 5 questions to Delhi CM

After the videos of the incident went viral, BJP posed five question to Arvind Kejriwal-led government in Delhi.

Hitting out at the Aam Aadmi Party government in the national capital, BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla tweet, "Disturbing visuals from Mukherjee Nagar where a massive fire broke out in a coaching centre and students had to risk their lives to get out from windows."

He asked Kejriwal to answer five questions.

1) you spend crores on fire safety of your own sheeshmahal but what about fire safety in these institutes?

2) Fire safety comes under Delhi government and MCD is also run by AAP- when was the last fire safety audit done? Are these places following fire safety protocols? Are they paying bribes and bypassing rules? Why no action? What are you waiting for?

3) Why has fire safety budget been cut last year? Have u spent that money on ads?

4) In 2022 there were 16500 fires and 82 people lost their lives! Who is responsible

5) Major fire incidents have caused huge damage in Delhi yet you are busy in 2024 politics and advertisements and corruption Shame on you AAP and Kejriwal.
