Criticism Arises Over Modi's Event Amid Delhi University Hostel Collapse
Two articles critically examine Prime Minister Modi's attendance at a celebratory event in Vadodara shortly after a tragic PG hostel collapse in Delhi University killed seven students, including Arpit Jaj. The coverage highlights concerns over government negligence and media focus on the Prime Minister's visit rather than the disaster. Both pieces question the advisability of the event amid mourning and call attention to alleged corruption contributing to unsafe student housing conditions under the Delhi government.
