Gautam Gambhir in Jaipur, Manoj Tiwari in Patna: AAP's swipe over Delhi flood

AAP said as Delhi was fighting the flood, BJP MPs Gautam Gambhir and Manoj Tiwari were out of the city.

In the wake of the Delhi flood which inundated several parts of the city, BJP MP (East Delhi) Gautam Gambhir called the national capital gutter and said it was bound to happen as Kejriwal did not spend any money apart from advertisements and freebies. The AAP on Sunday gave a reply to the criticism, sharing a photo of the MP in Jaipur. Northeast Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari was in Patna when his constituency flooded, the APP said calling them 'shameless MPs'.

AAP said both Gautam Gambhir and Manoj Tiwari left Delhi amid the flooding situation.

"The more we salute their sense of service and invaluable spirit, it is less," the AAP said tweeting Gautam Gambhir and Manoj Tiwari's photos amid the AAP-BJP slugfest over the Delhi flood.

"One is East Delhi MP and the other is from Northeast Delhi. And both of these areas have been affected the most by the floods. In such a situation when both of them were supposed to be with the public, Gautam Gambhir went on a trip to Jaipur and Manoj Tiwari held a press conference in Bihar...Have you ever seen such shameless MPS? Was it because of this that people elected them? Are they not concerned over the lives of the people of Delhi?" the post read.

Delhi gutter...this was bound to happen: Gautam Gambhir

On Wednesday when the Yamuna water level reached the highest for the first time in 40 years before flood water entered the city, Gautam Gambhir met people of his constituency and blamed Kejriwal for the situation. Questioning Kejriwal's politics of freebies, Gambhir on Thursday tweeted, "Wake up Delhiites. Delhi has become a gutter. Nothing is for free, this is the PRICE!!"

On Saturday, Gambhir said he was not surprised that Delhi got flooded because Kejriwal did not spend any money on infrastructure development, he said adding that during the Congress rule, there were development works in the Capital but in the past 9 years, there was nothing.

Gambhir was in Jaipur on Saturday to inaugurate the Sanganer Premier League in Jaipur. Alerting the government to be ready for water-borne diseases as a result of the days-long waterlogging, Gambhir tweeted, "Water-borne diseases is a serious threat! Hope Delhi Govt is preparing, can't be caught napping again!"
