New Delhi, Aug 14
As heavy rainfall lashed the national Capital, leading to severe waterlogging and traffic disruptions across the city, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Delhi government, questioning its preparedness and sarcastically dubbing it a "government of four engines.”
Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Assembly and former Delhi Chief Minister, Atishi, took to social media platform X to share a video of waterlogged roads in Chhatarpur and said, "This is the condition of Chhatarpur. Delhi roads turn into ponds after a short spell of rain. Is this the ‘Proper Management’ of Delhi Chief Minister @gupta_rekha and PWD Minister @p_sahibsingh."
AAP Delhi unit chief Saurabh Bharadwaj also shared visuals from Greater Kailash on X and said, "Well, the boat started sailing in Greater Kailash too – Government of four engines.”
The remarks came just days after Delhi witnessed the death of eight people in two separate incidents on August 10, and the flooding of the Giri Nagar pumping station in Kalkaji, which led to a water supply crisis in multiple areas.
LoP Atishi had earlier hit out at the BJP-led Delhi government, blaming its mismanagement for not only submerging the city’s roads but also causing a severe water shortage.
