Delhi’s Roads Remain Flooded as AAP and BJP Renew Clash Over Monsoon Planning

Rekha Gupta welcomes constructive criticism to showcase her administration’s progress on drainage solutions neglected under the former AAP government.

Overview

  • Heavy monsoon rains on July 23 left multiple Delhi-NCR arteries inundated, causing major traffic disruptions and stranding commuters.
  • AAP leaders have shared videos of submerged streets and sarcastically invited BJP officials to “boat services” to highlight perceived failures in flood preparedness.
  • Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva asserts that the current government’s efforts have eliminated waterlogging at long-standing hotspots such as Minto Road.
  • Chief Minister Rekha Gupta says she is “fixing the mess” left by the previous administration and encourages feedback on ongoing drainage improvements.
  • The exchange underlines how each rainy season in Delhi becomes a focal point for political point-scoring over civic infrastructure performance.
