AngularJS: $element injecting into controller not for Routing

$element can be injected into controller in normal cases but not in routing

I got the explanlation from here:

 your "typical" controller in fact IS a directive controller! So the injectable locals just happen to be available to any controller using ngController. But it's NOT available using a route because ngView uses a more "normal" controller instantiation

It throws error like this if you try in routing ( in the routing controller ):
