Chandigarh: The authorities in Haryana on Wednesday said that the state government has taken strong cognisance of Arvind Keijriwal statement regarding Delhi Water supply and said that a case against him in the Sonipat court has been filed under the Disaster Management Act.
Disaster Management Minister Vipul Goel called Kejriwal’s statement “absurd and misleading”, Minister Goel told the media that the Election Commission of India should take cognisance of such baseless statements.
“Kejriwal has done cheap politics by making such allegations on Haryana causing the state government to take legal action,” he said.
The Haryana Minister added that the water supplied to Delhi is the same water consumed by the President, the Prime Minister, and the Union Ministers.
He accused Kejriwal of spreading fear not only among the people of Delhi but also among Haryana’s citizens with his false claims.
Goel criticised the Delhi government for completely failing to clean the Yamuna River.
He accused the former Delhi Chief Minister of making baseless allegations against Haryana just to save his political image before the elections.
He emphasised that the people of Haryana consider the Yamuna sacred, and spreading false propaganda is both an insult to Haryana and an attempt to mislead the people of Delhi.
Minister Goel said that Kejriwal claimed that he stopped so-called “poisonous water” from entering Delhi, but there is no evidence to support this claim.
