video “We have not seen Delhi in a worse condition (than now). After rainfall of just half an hour or an hour, there is waterlogging for 12-15 hours. This shows how much corruption has been committed in the case of cleaning drains. There are about 18 major drains in Delhi but none of them have been cleaned,” reported PTI quoting Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva.
“The job of the three departments of the Kejriwal government - Jal Board, PWD and MCD - was to clean these drains, but all three together committed corruption in the name of cleaning the drains. If Kejriwal has anything called morality, then he should resign immediately,” Sachdeva said in a post on X.
The New Delhi Municipal Council, which oversees civic work in central Delhi, received 25 complaints of waterlogging, PTI quoted officials as saying.
