New Delhi [India], January 28 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Manoj Tiwari on Tuesday took a dig at AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal over his allegation against the BJP-ruled Haryana government of ‘poisoning’ Yamuna water, saying that the national capital needs change, not excuses.
Manoj Tiwari said that AAP is even stealing songs.
“They stole water, Delhi’s happiness; please don’t steal songs now,” Tiwari said.
“We are saying what the public wants to say… We conducted national water sports in Haryana’s water. We bathe in the water that is coming from Haryana… Arvind Kejriwal should be ashamed… Delhi needs change, not excuses,” the BJP MP added.
The remark came after Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal levelled serious allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party, stating that the BJP-ruled Haryana government has “poisoned” the Yamuna water supplied to Delhi so that “people die” and the blame comes on the AAP.
“BJP’s Haryana government has poisoned the water in Yamuna. If this water had entered Delhi only to be mixed with the drinking water, many people would have died in Delhi. It would have caused mass genocide,” the former Delhi chief minister alleged. Kejriwal said in a press conference while claiming that the alertness of the Delhi Jal Board prevented the mixing of alleged poisoned water with drinking water.
Kejriwal’s remarks prompted sharp reactions from the political circle in Delhi.
Congress candidate from New Delhi assembly constituency Sandeep Dikshit on Tuesday took a dig at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal over his allegation against the BJP-ruled Haryana government of ‘poisoning’ Yamuna water. Dikshit accused the AAP leader of ‘lying’.
“This is a serious allegation … Arvind Kejriwal should explain what kind of poison was there (in the water)… He is lying and still allowed to roam free. If a common man alleges the government of genocide, he will be in jail the very next day. I am surprised that no action is being taken against him by Haryana Police or Delhi Police. Where is the election commission?” the Congress leader said.
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini warned to file a defamation suit against AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal over his remarks on the pollution in the Yamuna river.
“For these blatantly false and disgusting statements, Kejriwal should immediately apologise to the people of Haryana and Delhi for this statement; otherwise, we will file a defamation suit against him,” Saini said. (ANI)
