Despite grand promises by the BJP’s so-called ‘four-engine government’, a brief spell of rain on Tuesday was enough to once again plunge Delhi into chaos. Major parts of the capital, including Dhaula Kuan, Delhi Airport, Inderlok, East Punjabi Bagh, Mundka and the Zakheera railway bridge, were left waterlogged, causing massive traffic snarls and commuter misery.
AAP leaders Saurabh Bharadwaj, Manish Sisodia, and Delhi Assembly LoP Atishi tore into the BJP’s tall claims, calling out the government’s repeated failure to build even basic drainage infrastructure. Sharing photos of vehicles stranded in knee-deep water, they asked a scathing question—“Is this the ‘Developed Delhi’ under the BJP’s ‘Developed India’?”
AAP Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj slammed the BJP, reposting an image shared by former AAP MLA Parmila Dheeraj Tokas on X, which showed heavy waterlogging right outside the office of RK Puram’s BJP MLA Anil Sharma. “This is BJP’s ‘Viksit Delhi’ in ‘Viksit Bharat’ under the four-engine government,” Saurabh Bharadwaj remarked sarcastically, highlighting the collapse of basic infrastructure under BJP’s watch.
Senior AAP leader and former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia further lambasted the BJP government in a post on X, stating, “Every Delhiite is fed up with the 4-engine BJP government. Exorbitant school fee hikes are burdening parents, endless power cuts are making life unbearable in this heat, the poor are being evicted from their jhuggis, and now the entire city has drowned in just one spell of rain. Why is Delhi still so helpless under a 4-engine BJP government?”
Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Atishi also took to X to expose the city’s collapse, posting pictures of severe waterlogging at the Delhi Airport, Inderlok, East Punjabi Bagh, Mundka, and under the Zakheera Railway Bridge. She wrote, “This is the miracle of BJP’s 4-engine government — Delhi is submerged after just light rainfall. Where is Delhi’s Chief Minister Rekha Gupta now, who claimed there would be no waterlogging during monsoons?”
Former AAP MLA Parmila Dheeraj Tokas posted a timestamped photograph (3:20 PM, 17 June 2025) showing waterlogging outside MLA Anil Sharma’s office in Satya Niketan Colony, Nanakpura, RK Puram constituency. She commented, “This is the real picture of the national capital of a so-called ‘Developed India’ under BJP rule — exposed in the very first rainfall.”
Leader of Opposition in the MCD Ankush Narang stated on X, “The truth of BJP’s four-engine government has been washed out by the very first rains. The grand claims made by CM Rekha Gupta and Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh that ‘Delhi will not flood this monsoon’ have drowned in today’s water logging. Everywhere you look, there’s water. Their fake promises are now floating in the flooded streets of the capital.”
