PM Modi Blasts AAP
Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined the 'Yamuna water war' on Wednesday after Arvind Kejriwal accused this week that the Bharatiya Janata Party mixes "poison" in the water it supplies to Delhi, asking voters in the national capital, "Can Haryana's BJP government poison the water the Prime Minister drinks?"
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief on Monday made an explosive claim; he said, “The people of Delhi get drinking water from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh... but the Haryana government has mixed poison in the water coming to Delhi from the Yamuna and sent it here... it is only due to the vigilance of our Delhi Jal Board engineers that this water was stopped.”
Later, during an election rally in Delhi's Ghonda area, the Prime Minister denounced Kejriwal's "disgusting charge" and referenced the AAP leader's admitted failure to fulfill his promise of cleaning the Yamuna.
"They asked for votes on the Yamuna... but now they are being shameless about it. They want Delhi to beg for water. AAP has sinned for political gains. History will never forgive them... Delhi will never forgive them," he thundered to chants of 'Modi, Modi'. "But the BJP can give you clean water."
Modi further remarked, "Haryana will never forget the insinuations," declaring the fear of defeat in next week's Assembly election had made the AAP "unhinged."
"Don't people from Haryana live in Delhi? Can Haryana then poison Delhi's water? Even the PM drinks this water,” he pointed out.
Other BJP leaders, including Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini, also launched attacks on Kejriwal.
