"Is this speed of the '4-engine' government?": Arvind Kejriwal lashes out at BJP over waterlogging in Delhi

New Delhi [India], July 29 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Chief and Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday lashed out at the BJP government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, over the persisting waterlogging issue in the national capital following heavy rains.
Kejriwal shared a purported video of waterlogging at Delhi's Connaught Place, questioning the speed of their 'four-engine' government.
In a post on social media X, Kejriwal remarked that it was "hard" to believe the conditions of the heart of Delhi, Connaught Place.

"When this is the condition of Connaught Place, the heart of Delhi, it's not hard to imagine the state of the rest of Delhi. Just 10 minutes of rain and the roads have turned into ponds. In 5 months, where has the BJP brought Delhi to? Is this the speed of the '4-engine' government?" Kejriwal's post read.
Heavy rain in the national capital has caused widespread waterlogging, causing inconvenience to commuters.
Earlier in the day, AAP leader Saurabh Bhardwaj took a jibe at the Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena and Public Works Department Minister Parvesh Verma over their claims of "good work" made during a recent visit to the area.
In a post on X, Bharadwaj sarcastically remarked, "This is Delhi's ITO. On July 9, LG Sahab and PWD Minister Parvesh Verma had come here to inspect the waterlogging work, congratulating each other for the good work. Today, with waterlogging again, please accept my congratulations as well."
However, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta on Tuesday inspected the waterlogging situation at Delhi's ITO area. She emphasised that clear instructions have been given to officials to ensure proper arrangements.
"Today, a surprise inspection of the waterlogging situation was conducted in ITO. Interacted with local people to gather information about the actual situation. Clear instructions have been given to officials to ensure proper arrangements for prompt water drainage during heavy rainfall," CM Gupta posted on X.
"The Delhi government is identifying all those areas in the capital where waterlogging occurs repeatedly during the rains. Work is being expedited on a plan for modern drainage systems, real-time monitoring, and rapid response units to provide permanent solutions at these locations. Our goal is--a Delhi where the monsoon becomes a relief, not a trouble," she said. (ANI)
