‘Free water parks for kids’: AAP takes dig at Rekha Gupta govt over Delhi waterlogging

On Monday afternoon, Delhi was hit by heavy rainfall, providing much-needed relief from the heatwave but causing extensive waterlogging and severely disrupting traffic. ITO Chowk, Munirka, Badarpur, Sikanderpur Ghosi, and Aerocity were among the areas most affected by the water accumulation. AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj criticized the BJP-led Delhi government led by chief minister Rekha Gupta, posting a series of images on X showing children wading through waist-high water and alleging that shops in Sadar Bazar had suffered significant damage.

Bharadwaj sarcastically thanked the chief minister and the BJP government for their "free water parks for children" in Delhi. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted that Delhi would continue to receive light rain in several parts of the city, with temperatures ranging from 25.4°C to 27.0°C.
