East Delhi drowning deaths: AAP slams BJP over open drain demands compensation

The party also demanded financial support for the family and action against erring officials and announced that it will protest outside Lt Governor's residence on Saturday.

Addressing a press conference, the Aam Aadmi Party's Delhi convener Gopal Rai accused the BJP of having "double standards."

"Initially when the incident happened, BJP spokesperson went to the spot and claimed that it was a PWD drain. But ever since it became clear that the drain belongs to DDA, they have maintained silence. Lt Governor is the chairman of DDA.

"Why is BJP silent now? They have double standards," he charged.
