Meanwhile, Kejriwal said the Haryana government should not try to scare them, threatening to file a case and do it, adding that “You have already sent us to jail, will you now pronounce the death sentence also? Better file a case and make the residents of Delhi drink poison, but I will not let the people of Delhi die,” said Kejriwal. Information reveals, the CEO of Delhi Jal Board, wrote to the Chief Secretary and said that Kejriwal’s statements are factually incorrect, could lead to fear-mongering among Delhi residents. Information also reveals, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has also written to CM Atishi stating, “Making false, misleading, non-factual accusations of poisoning and genocide over a sensitive issue like drinking water and attempting to incite the public against another state government is not only a threat to the states involved, but also to national peace and security.”
Meanwhile, a group of senior BJP political leaders of Sonipat led by the former Media Advisor to Haryana CM Rajiv Jain and BJP district president Jasbir Dodwa took water from the Yamuna river flowing near village Dahisar.
