AAP ridicules BJP over waterlogged Talkatora Stadium during Nitin Nabin's rally
AAP MLA Kuldeep Kumar posted a video showing BJP national president Nitin Nabin launching a procession at a waterlogged Talkatora Stadium, mocking Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta's arrangements.
At Talkatora Stadium in Delhi, BJP national president Nitin Nabin inaugurated a series of "Pavan Mati Kalash" processions tied to the 650th birth anniversary of Sant Ravidas. The event, attended by Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta, BJP president Harsh Malhotra and various religious figures, took place amid visible waterlogging in parts of the stadium. AAP legislator Kuldeep Kumar uploaded a video of the ceremony to X, lampooning the situation by suggesting the chief minister had prepared a "splendid swimming pool" for the BJP.
He highlighted Nabin's flag-off of the yatra despite the soggy conditions. The BJP framed the occasion as part of the "Samrasta Sankalp Abhiyan" and emphasized spreading Sant Ravidas's teachings across the city. The incident sparked a brief political spat between the two parties over the stadium's condition.
