BJP criticises AAP Govt over rain-induced waterlogging

Wednesday, 21 August 2024 | Staff Reporter | New Delhi

Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva on Tuesday criticized the Aam Aadmi Party government over the water logging situation in Delhi following the rains, saying the people of Delhi are once again suffering due to the negligence of the Delhi government. The onset of rain leads to water logging, submerging most areas of Delhi.

He said the rains on Tuesday morning rain caused waterlogging from Badarpur to ITO, from I.T.O. to Mundka, from Chhatarpur to Sangam Vihar, from Badarpur to Karkardooma, and from Vasant Kunj to Najafgarh. As Delhiites headed to work, they were surrounded by water, and the city came to a standstill until the afternoon.

Sachdeva mentioned that an auto driver narrowly escaped a fatal accident under the Minto Bridge, and a similar situation was seen at the Zakhira underpass.

BJP state chief said the Delhi Government, its Jal Board, and their 60 MLAs have failed to address the issue of water logging, which has turned the entire city into a slum cluster.

Expressing deep concern over the water logging, he said in the upcoming Assembly elections, the Kejriwal government's failure to address water logging problem and provide clean drinking water will be a major issues.

Due to the negligence of the Aam Aadmi Party government, accidents are continuously occurring in Delhi, but the Kejriwal government is not taking any concrete steps to address the issue, he claimed.

Sachdeva said, "This is 100% government negligence. The Delhi government is only interested in corruption and has no concern for the lives of the people. Why has the Delhi government become an enemy of its citizens?"

He added that the Kejriwal government does not act in time, and when situations like water logging occur in Delhi, they only stage dramas on the streets for photo opportunities.

The Delhi BJP President demanded that a list of permanent water logging sites be prepared, and security marshals be deployed there to prevent people from approaching such sensitive locations.

He said if the Kejriwal government could take a break from indulging in corruption and looting the people of Delhi, then they might make some decisions in the interest of the citizens.
