Kejriwal Submits Reply to EC, Slams Haryana CM
Hindustan Times Rajasthan
|February 01, 2025
Senior AAP leader and party convener Arvind Kejriwal submitted his reply to the Election Commission (EC) on Friday regarding his allegation that the BJP government in Haryana has mixed "poison" in the Yamuna water supplied to Delhi, saying his remarks were in context of the "unprecedented high levels of ammonia in the raw water".
NEW DELHI:
In his six-page written reply addressed to the chief election commissioner (CEC), Kejriwal also accused Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini of hatching a "conspiracy" to "influence" the February 5 Delhi Assembly polls by sending highly-polluted waters to the national capital.
Accompanied by Delhi and Punjab chief ministers Atishi and Bhagwant Mann, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor submitted his reply to EC officials over the poll panel's notice to him in the matter. The AAP leaders also carried three bottles of ammonia-mixed water for the election commissioners to drive home their point.
In his reply, Kejriwal said the "poison" found mixed with the Yamuna water was "ammonia". He referred to Delhi Jal Board (DJB) officials for details like evidence of mixing poison and its methodology.
