After two days of heavy rain in Delhi, visuals of a flooded Bharat Mandapan, the venue for India's G20 Summit, went viral with the Congress leaving no opportunity to wade into the issue amid the ongoing tussle over no invitation to party chief Mallikarjun Kharge.

Sharing the visual of the flooded venue on Twitter, which also showed people working to pump out water from the venue, Youth Congress chief Srinivas BV took a jibe at the Centre saying 'Vikas [Development] was swimming -- referring to the Centre's promises of development and the famous party slogan 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'.
