The Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government faced criticism after the first monsoon shower resulted in widespread waterlogging across the National Capital. The Delhi unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused the Arvind Kejriwal-led government of negligence, highlighting that PWD drains were overflowing due to a lack of pre-monsoon cleaning. Delhi Minister Atishi Singh defended the government, explaining that the city received 228 mm of rainfall, which exceeded the capacity of the drains, causing waterlogging in several areas.
Continuous rainfall caused severe waterlogging in various parts of Delhi earlier last week, including at the residence of Water Minister Atishi Singh. This situation contradicted the claims of both the Delhi government and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), who had repeatedly assured that Delhi was prepared for the monsoon.
