Swati Maliwal questions 'absence' of Delhi ministers after death of 3 UPSC aspirants

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal on Sunday questioned the alleged absence of the Delhi ministers after the death of three UPSC aspirants after the basement of a building housing a coaching centre was flooded following heavy rain in central Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar area. Speaking to news agency ANI, she said, "The students are very sad and angry. It has been more than 12 hours, till now neither any minister of Delhi government has come, nor the mayor of MCD, nor any officer. I believe that these deaths are not a disaster, this is a murder, an FIR should be registered against all these big government officials. It is not yet known whether 3 have died or more have died. Compensation of Rs 1 crore should be given to all the students who have died...The minister, Mayor should come here immediately and apologise to them.  Delhi will not run like this. I will raise this issue in Parliament. I will keep all the demands of students in Parliament... The students are saying that 12 days ago they had informed the councillor that the drain system here is bad, so the councillor and all the people above him should answer."
