Speaking to news agency ANI, the Delhi minister said, “The documents that they (BJP MLAs) presented in the House show the data from the beginning of November. It is clearly visible in the photos that these people died either in road accidents or in a murder because of the injury marks visible. The cold in Delhi began a week back. Delhi has no cold in November. This is not the data of the deaths due to cold. The BJP is spreading lies.”
The AAP minister further took potshots at the BJP, saying the Central government and Delhi Development Authority (DDA) have rendered several people homeless by demolishing the slums.

“Centre and DDA are rendering people homeless by demolishing slums and JJ Cluster houses in Delhi in winter. Has the BJP government and their organisations ever thought about how these children will go to school? According to law, the government cannot demolish houses without making alternative arrangements,” Bharadwaj said while speaking to the media.
