Kejriwal forced people to drink contaminated water: Saini

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini strongly critiqued former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the quality of Yamuna water, stating that no work had been done in Delhi over the past 10 years.

He accused Kejriwal of resorting to cheap politics to cover up his failures. "For the last decade, Kejriwal has forced the people of Delhi to drink contaminated water," Saini claimed.

While presenting water samples from both Haryana and Delhi to the media at Yamuna Ghat in Wazirabad today, he emphasised the difference between the two. He stated that in Delhi, polluted water was being dumped into the Yamuna.

Directly holding the Delhi Government responsible, Saini said, "We supply clean water to Delhi through the Yamuna, but due to mismanagement, the Delhi Government is polluting it."

He said when the same water reached Faridabad, its quality was significantly compromised.

He said PM Narendra Modi allocated Rs 8,500 crore for cleaning drains, ponds, repairing sewage system, and other related works, but the results were not visible. He said it was the Chief Minister's responsibility to provide facilities to the public, but such facilities were not evident in Delhi.
