Zero work done on ground, AAP slams BJP over floods

Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) Ankush Narang on Friday launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led civic administration over severe waterlogging in the national Capital following recent rains, accusing the ruling party of failing completely to deliver on its promises made during the Assembly elections.

Speaking to IANS, AAP leader Ankush Narang said, “Delhi received rain recently, and after that, there was massive waterlogging everywhere. I shared pictures of several affected areas.

“Chief Minister of Delhi, Rekha Gupta, had claimed there would be no waterlogging this time. Her minister boasted about identifying 443 vulnerable points and setting up offices at each one, promising strict action including suspensions. But tell me, has even one person been suspended?” He also targeted Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh's remarks about Delhiites “enjoying the monsoon.” “The Mayor said this time Delhiites will enjoy the monsoon. We didn’t realise their definition of enjoyment meant sewer water flooding our streets so people could swim in it. I had no idea this was the plan.

“Sewer water collected in major areas of Delhi. And honestly, does anyone know when these sewers were last cleaned? You live here too. Did you see any cleaning work near your house? I certainly didn't,” he added.

Narang further accused the BJP of neglecting basic civic maintenance.
