Delhi received 126 mm rainfall between 8.30 am and 5:30 pm on Saturday, the highest this monsoon, leading to waterlogging, traffic jams and vehicle breakdowns in several areas, and the death of a woman. The BJP and the Congress unleashed an attack on the AAP government saying that the first full day’s rain completely exposed it. The BJP also slammed Mayor Shelly Oberoi for attending a meeting in Ahmedabad despite “knowing” that the city would receive heavy rainfall during the weekend.
