Gurugram Waterlogging Sparks BJP-Congress Dispute Over Infrastructure Responsibility
Gurugram faces severe waterlogging during monsoon, disrupting traffic and daily life. BJP MP Rao Inderjit Singh attributes the issue to construction over natural drainage during the Congress era and proposes underground tunnels as a lasting solution. Congress leaders, including Deepender and Bhupinder Singh Hooda, counter that the BJP, in power for over a decade, has failed to address the problem, calling for accountability and audits. Officials acknowledge current measures as temporary, emphasizing the need for comprehensive infrastructure planning.
