Amid severe waterlogging in Delhi after a heavy downpour, the opposition AAP took a jab at the ruling BJP, sarcastically congratulating them for inaugurating 'free water sports' in the capital. Videos shared by AAP leaders on social media illustrate the inundation of residential and industrial areas, intensifying their criticism of the current administration's inaction.
While the BJP government remained tight-lipped in response to the allegations, the widespread rain led to major traffic snarls across Delhi, including key areas like ITO and National Highway 8. The India Meteorological Department reported significant rainfall from morning showers, prompting 'orange' and 'red' alerts in several parts of the city.
Despite the Public Works Department's claims of no significant waterlogging at critical spots, opposition leaders highlighted the distressing condition, including water entering schools and public roads turning into temporary water bodies. The city remains on high alert as further rainfall is expected.
