[Watch] Delhi BJP Councillor Rows Boat On Waterlogged Delhi Roads

New Delhi: In a symbolic protest against the collapsing infrastructure, Delhi BJP councillor Ravinder Singh Negi was seen rowing an inflatable boat on a flooded street as heavy rain through the night submerged large parts of Delhi this morning

Negi, a resident of Vinod Nagar in east Delhi, demonstrated how bad the flooding was in the locality, and blamed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi.

“…All PWD drains are overflowing. They didn’t get it cleaned ahead of Monsoon. This has led to waterlogging…Vinod Nagar is submerged,” said the BJP leader, pausing his frantic “rowing” to speak to news agency ANI.

Parts of Delhi-NCR received heavy rain this morning which caused waterlogging roads across the national capital and causing a portion of the roof of the Delhi airport’s Terminal-1 to collapse.

Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav was lifted by his staff members to his car as the area outside his house was flooded with water as he left for the ongoing Parliament session.

In the video, Yadav can be seen being helped by members of his staff and others to his car in the Lodi Estate Area as the area around his residence was completely submerged.
