The woman had claimed in a viral interview that the lawmaker was completely absent during their time of distress.
In her viral interview with a blogger, the resident also blamed the severe flooding on a newly constructed apartment building.
She alleged that the structure was built directly over a drainage channel, blocking the natural flow of water in the area.
