The BJP rules Nagpur municipal corporation, and since the waterlogging issue has been reported in the assembly building compound, oppositions seem to have got an excuse to slam the BJP government for their failure and civic apathy.
During the monsoons, more complaints on waterlogging are reported in Mumbai. Therefore, the Shiv Sena-led BMC government draws a lot of flak for their failure over the civic problems, while the state coalition partner BJP usually grabs the opportunity and accuses Sena. Therefore, with Nagpur facing a similar waterlogging problem, now Sena seems to have got a chance to slam BJP for same.
Reportedly, along with Nagpur state assembly building compound, the city airport also witnessed flooding. In the pictures that emerged on the social media, cars parked outside the Nagpur airport were seen partly submerged under the water.
