Congress, DMK Leaders Clash On X Over Waterlogging In Chennai

Chennai witnessed a waterlogging situation in various parts of the city after heavy rain lashed the city on Wednesday night.

The DMK and the Congress engaged in an exchange of posts on X over the issue of water logging in Chennai after Wednesday night's heavy rains. Sivaganga MP and Congress leader Karti P Chidambaram shared a news clip of water logging in Chennai with a cryptic message that read "Race Road or Rain Road" as he tagged the Greater Chennai Corporation in his post. The post was an apparent dig at the corporation for the state of the road, considering that just a few weeks back Chennai had hosted the Formula Night races. #WATCH | Tamil Nadu: Chennai Mayor Priya Rajan inspects the Perambur subway and surrounding areas where waterlogging occurred following rainfall.

In his reply to the post from Karti Chidambaram, Saravanan Annadurai the spokesperson of the DMK replied with a jibe questioning if it was possible to gauage the rain's intensity from the confines of a room.

"Earlier two bit trolls were making this noise. Asking why the rain water has not receded even when it was raining. Now A question to ponder, Will it be possible to gauge the intensity of the rain within the confines of a room?" Sarvanan replied to Chidambaram's post wrote on X.
