Delhi water crisis: AAP protests at Haryana Bhawan

AAP held a protest on Monday at Haryana Bhawan over its allegation that the neighbouring state is not releasing Delhi's share of Yamuna's water, leading to a shortage in the city. 

 

Scores of AAP workers, including party MLA Kuldeep Kumar, raised slogans against the BJP-led Haryana government.

 

"The BJP is playing dirty politics and depriving the people of Delhi of their share of water at a time when heatwave conditions are prevailing in north India. The Lt Governor should intervene as the representative of the people of Delhi," Kumar said.

 

The Delhi government has during the past fortnight repeatedly accused Haryana of not releasing the national capital's share of water.

 

The BJP has accused AAP leaders of lying on the water shortage issue.

Mismanagement by the AAP government has resulted in water theft and wastage, the BJP's Delhi unit chief Virendra Sachdeva has said. 

दिल्ली का पानी रोकने वाली BJP के हरियाणा भवन के बाहर आप महिला विंग ने दिल्ली के हक़ के लिए किया विरोध प्रदर्शन।
अपने हक़ के लिए पूरी दिल्ली सड़क से लेकर कोर्ट तक लड़ाई लड़ेगी और हरियाणा से अपने हक़ का पानी लिया जाएगा।#BJPStopsDelhiWater@ArvindKejriwal@SandeepPathak04 pic.twitter.com/6jiLmsQEVt
