Varma slams AAP for neglecting waterlogging
The Daily Guardian
|January 23, 2026
Delhi Government Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma on Thursday held the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government responsible for the persistent waterlogging in Kirari, alleging that no effective sewerage or drainage infrastructure was developed in the constituency for more than a decade.
Refuting what he called politically motivated misinformation, the Minister placed official records in the public domain to highlight what he described as prolonged neglect under the former AAP regime, while also outlining a clear, time-bound roadmap to permanently resolve the longstanding problem.
Speaking to the media, Verma said misleading claims about waterlogging in Kirari had been circulating on social media over the past week. “Today, Tam putting facts on record. I hope the Opposition, particularly AAP leaders, are paying attention,” he said.
