New Delhi: After Aam Aadmi Party national convenor alleged BJP-led Haryana government for poisoning Yamuna, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has directed the Haryana government to provide a “factual report” by Tuesday noon.
Earlier on Monday, an AAP delegation met ECI officials, following which the issue was brought to the ECI’s attention. The delegation was led by Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who requested an urgent meeting, sources added.
This development follows a prior letter written by Atishi and Mann requesting an urgent meeting to discuss the issue with the ECI.
Earlier in the day, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal leveled serious allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-ruled government in Haryana, accusing it of “poisoning” the water flowing into Delhi from the neighboring state.
“BJP’s Haryana government has poisoned the water in Yamuna,” Kejriwal told reporters while adding that the alertness of Delhi Jal board prevented the mixing of alleged poisoned water with drinking water.
“If this water would have entered Delhi only to be mixed with the drinking water, many people would have died in Delhi. It would have caused mass genocide,” Kejriwal alleged.
He further stated that Delhi’s water treatment plants were not equipped to handle such polluted water. “It has caused water scarcity in one-third of Delhi,” Kejriwal added.
“The people of Delhi get water to drink from Haryana and UP. In Yamuna, water flows into Delhi from Haryana. However, the Delhi Jal Board was vigilant enough to stop that water from coming to Delhi. Otherwise, it would have caused mass genocide in Delhi. The BJP government has mixed such a kind of poison in the water that cannot be treated even by the water treatment plants,” the former Delhi Chief Minister said.
