The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-run Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Maharashtra state government for the collapse of civic infrastructure in the first torrential rain of the monsoon season. The party also highlighted that the BMC, state and the Centre, all the three levels of government, are ruled by BJP.

Speaking on the waterlogging caused by the first showers, AAP's Mumbai President Preeti Sharma Menon said the monsoon is a permanent, annual feature of the city’s climate. Despite this, she alleged that the BMC failed to carry out adequate pre- monsoon preparations.
