New Delhi: As three people died of chikungunya at a hospital in New Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal chose the easy way out and blamed Modi-led government for failure to contain vector-borne diseases.
Delhi is reeling from an outbreak of chikungunya and dengue, while the health minister Satyendra Jain is in Goa to administer Aam Aadmi Party's preparations for next year's Assembly elections.
Kejriwal, who is due to leave for a throat surgery in Bengaluru, shrugged off all responsibility and pointed out that even Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung is not in the capital.

Through a series of tweets, Kejriwal said, ''AAP has also blamed the BJP-dominated Municipal Corporation of Delhi or MCD, with Law minister Kapil Mishra asking where Delhi's "mayor has disappeared".
Three people died of chikangunya on Monday, the first deaths from that disease in the capital. At least 10 people have died of dengue and malaria and hospitals overflowing with sick people.
Chikungunya cases in the national capital has sharply risen to over 1,000 this season, marking a jump of nearly 90 per cent from its count last week.
According to a municipal report released on Monday, at least 1,057 cases of this vector-borne disease have been recorded till September 10, however, hospitals in the city altogether are reporting much higher number.
Doctors say that chikungunya is not a life-threatening disease in general, but in rare cases leads to complications that prove fatal, especially in children and old persons.
