Following an inspection of the affected areas this morning, Lt Governor VK Saxena alleged that lack of preparation led to flooding in the national capital.
Waterlogging in Delhi amid monsoon fury in north India has become the latest flashpoint for a war of words between the centre-appointed Lieutenant Governor and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government.
Following an inspection of the affected areas this morning, Lt Governor VK Saxena alleged that lack of preparation led to flooding in the national capital. "Waterlogging has become an annual ritual. The necessary preparations were not done and that led to this situation. I will try to ensure that this does not happen again," Mr Saxena told the media following the inspection.
Soon after, Delhi minister and senior AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj hit out at the Lieutenant Governor, with whom the ruling party has been locked in a tug-of-war on who controls the capital's administration.
