Aug 20, 2024
New Delhi [India], August 20 : Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva on Tuesday criticised the Aam Aadmi Party government over the waterlogging situation in Delhi following the rains, saying that the people of Delhi are once again suffering due to the negligence of the Delhi government.
Notably, rainfall in the morning, caused waterlogging from Badarpur to ITO, from I.T.O. to Mundka, from Chhatarpur to Sangam Vihar, from Badarpur to Karkardooma, and from Vasant Kunj to Najafgarh.
Sachdeva mentioned that today, an auto driver narrowly escaped a fatal accident under the Minto Bridge, and a similar situation was seen at the Zakhira underpass.
Virendra Sachdeva stated that the Delhi Government, its Jal Board, and their 60 MLAs have failed to address the issue of waterlogging, which has turned the entire city into a slum cluster.
Expressing deep concern over the waterlogging, he said that in the upcoming Assembly elections, the Kejriwal government's failure to address waterlogging problem and provide clean drinking water will be a major issue.
Due to the negligence of the Aam Aadmi Party government, accidents are continuously occurring in Delhi, but the Kejriwal government is not taking any concrete steps to address the issue, he said.
Virendra Sachdeva said, "This is 100 per cent government negligence. The Delhi government is only interested in corruption and has no concern for the lives of the people. Why has the Delhi government become an enemy of its citizens?"
He added that the Kejriwal government does not act in time, and when situations like waterlogging occur in Delhi, they only stage dramas on the streets.
The Delhi BJP President demanded that a list of permanent waterlogging sites be prepared, and security marshals be deployed there to prevent people from approaching such sensitive locations.
He said that if the Kejriwal government could take a break from indulging in corruption and looting the people of Delhi, then they might make some decisions in the interest of the citizens.
