Swaraj said, \u201cThose students were in Delhi for the preparation of IAS examinations, but sadly, I have to say that due to criminal negligence of Delhi govt, those students have lost their lives. The cause of death of these three students is the utter and absolute apathy of the AAP ruling dispensation in Delhi… For a decade, AAP has been enjoying power in Delhi but not doing work for the people of Delhi. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has been under AAP for the last two years, and the Delhi Jal Board is also under them. The residents of Old Rajinder Nagar continuously complained to the local MLA, Councillor, and officers\u2014the MLA kept doing satire but didn’t take any action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nCongress MP Shashi Tharoor said, \u201cIt’s a shocking situation and I have to say that when you have a brilliant student all the dreams of serving the nation through the UPSC exam have been shattered and the hopes of the family have been shattered.

\nTharoor added, \u201cThere are a number of serious issues that need to be addressed – there is sadly a level of violations of basic norms when it comes to building codes, fire safety, flood safety and so on, that is rampant in the city. The corporation also has responsibility. I have seen in the hands of a journalist a certificate of clearance issued on 9 July. The corporation allows these people to do what they’re doing, saying they’re in compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nVice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said, \u201cI find that youth demographic dividend of the country has to be nurtured, I further find that coaching has become virtually commerce.
