Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said on Tuesday that the social media post first uploaded by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Kuldeep Kumar followed by his press statement on the fire at New Ashok Nagar Police Station is a bundle of lies that made him a subject of ridicule.
The Delhi BJP spokesperson posted a counter to the statement on the social media platform X, stating that Kumar claimed a fire broke out in the malkhana (storeroom) of New Ashok Nagar Police Station whereas the fire actually occurred in some seized vehicles parked beside the police station.
The AAP MLA claimed the Fire Brigade arrived after one hour, whereas the Fire Brigade reached the spot within four minutes of receiving the call, at 1:25 PM, and brought the fire under control by 1:50 PM, Kapoor added.
The Delhi BJP spokesperson said that Fire Brigade personnel risk their lives daily to save people during fire incidents, but the manner in which Delhi AAP leaders accuse the Fire Brigade of arriving late whenever a fire breaks out anywhere in Delhi insults the bravery of fire brigade personnel.
