AAP Accuses BJP of Desilting Scam Cover-Up in Delhi
After heavy rain caused flooding in Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) says the government is hiding evidence of a desilting scam.
They claim that documents about the issue are being destroyed to protect Naresh Kumar, a former official.
The AAP says they complained about this last year, but the government denies receiving it, even though it was posted publicly.
The BJP, however, says that AAP did not do a good job with desilting when they were in charge and that they committed scams during their time in power.
The BJP says that the current claims are just a political move.
