The Congress on Friday staged a protest in all 70 constituencies of the national capital to observe "Bhagoda Divas" over the absence of AAP ministers following the outbreak of chikungunya and dengue.
The protest against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, his ministers and Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung, for being out of the city was led by Delhi Congress unit chief Ajay Maken.
He accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders of staying away from the city at a time of crisis.
Slamming Kejriwal, Maken alleged: "While the people of the city are facing an epidemic like situation, Kejriwal was busy in campaigning for his party in Punjab."
"Instead of looking after the situation here, he went to Bengaluru for his treatment," he alleged.
The Congress leader also attacked Jung, who was in the US and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia for holidaying in Finland.
