Poison of Yamuna river: The governments of Delhi and Haryana have once again come face to face on the Yamuna issue. Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal has claimed that the BJP government in Haryana has poisoned the Yamuna.
The party says that due to the excess amount of ammonia in the water from Haryana, three water supply plants in Delhi have reached the verge of closure and a water crisis has begun in the national capital. The commission has asked the Haryana government to submit a factual report on the matter by 12 noon on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Haryana Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini and the Haryana BJP have hit back at Kejriwal’s allegations.
In anger, Saini said- Apologise or else they will claim defamation
Responding to Kejriwal’s allegations, Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini said that the engineers of the Delhi Jal Board stopped the water from coming to Delhi, they came to know that there was poison in it. How did the engineers conclude that it contains poison? Kejriwal tell me which poison was injected, how many tonnes of poison was injected. Then how to stop the water at the border, build a wall, where it was built. If the water was poisonous, how many fish died from that poisonous water? Kejriwal has no problem in doing dirty and lying politics.
Saini said Kejriwal dishonoured the soil where he was born. The Haryana people’s consider Yamuna as a holy river. Why do people of Haryana add poison to the river water? Arvind Kejriwal had made a false promise in the year 2020 that if he did not protect the Yamuna from pollution, he would never ask for votes. Kejriwal lost his mental balance after seeing a possible defeat in the election. Kejriwal should immediately apologise to the people of Haryana and Delhi otherwise we will claim defamation against him.
Delhi is most supplied with water from Haryana. Delhi Chief Minister Atishi said that Delhi’s Chandrawal, Wazirabad and Okhla plants are on the verge of closure due to excessive ammonia in the water. This will affect the water supply to 30 per cent of Delhi’s population. They have approached the commission and demanded a probe into the entire matter.
