Prompting a sharp counter-attack on Centre’s Press information Bureau, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Saurabh Bhardwaj took a jibe on Sunday, sharing a video which shows waterlogging at Bharat Mandapam, the venue of G20 Summit. He called the agency’s claims about venue, ‘exaggerated and misleading.’

Taking it to his Twitter account, Bhardwaj mentioned, “Resp @LtGovDelhi saab, This is very serious. Even after ur 50+ inspections, if the very main area around Mandapam is submerged in water, then heads must roll. I as Minister of Delhi don’t have control over this Central Govt area, else would have assisted u sir.”

However, there was no immediate response from LG VK Saxena on this, but PIB fact check handle shared a post, which claimed it to be fake.

The response from PIB fact check on Twitter claimed, “This claim is exaggerated and misleading. Minor water logging in open area was swiftly cleared as pumps were pressed into action after overnight rains. No water logging at venue presently.

Notably, the India Meteorological Department earlier itself gave the waring for the drizzles in Delhi over the weekend.
