Union Education Minister has given his first reaction today on the deaths in Rau IAS coaching. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday blamed negligence for the death of three candidates preparing for the Civil Services Examination at Rau IAS Coaching Center in the Old Rajinder Nagar area of New Delhi.
'Accountability will be fixed'
In the Rajya Sabha, the Union Education Minister said, "There has been negligence. Only when accountability is fixed, the solution will be found... It is our responsibility to ensure that such an incident does not happen again." Also, Pradhan said, "Some coaching centers have become mafia without any approved building and any facilities... Is the government going to take any action?" Earlier in the Lok Sabha, the minister had said that the government had issued guidelines regarding the regulation of coaching centers in January this year.
BJP targets AAP
The BJP has blamed the Aam Aadmi Party for the death of Shreya Yadav, Tanya Soni, and Nivin Dalvin at the IAS coaching centre in Rau. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Sudhanshu Trivedi said that those who are responsible for these deaths did not show any sign of stress on their faces, let alone shedding tears.
'Those who should have tears in their eyes...'
Sudhanshu Trivedi said in the Rajya Sabha, "The government should have regulated coaching institutes, but it has failed gravely to do so. The incident that happened is very unfortunate... It is sad that those who were responsible for this not only did not shed tears, nor did they have any tension on their faces (those who should have tears in their eyes, did not even have a wrinkle on their face)..."
