Talking to media persons Haryana Agriculture Minister J.P. Dalal said, arranging requirement of water and other basic amenities to people residing at Delhi is the responsibility of AAP government ruling in the state as such water shortage is their internal issue sorted out by Kejriwal government at Delhi. He said, in-spite of acute shortage of water in Yamuna canal flowing across Haryana due to delayed Monsoon this year Haryana government has tried its best to supply full quantity of water to Delhi Water Board and honoured commitment made to Supreme Court of India in-spite of the fact people in Haryana are suffered too much due to shortage of water in canal.

Dala said, Haryana government is regularly supplying 950 cusec water to Delhi Water Board at Bawana contact point but Arvind Kejriwal Chief Minister Delhi is in the habit of making false blames on others and playing political drama as in past also in case of short supply of oxygen to Delhi during second wave of COVID-19 and Haryana spreading pollution at Delhi which in fact are due to mismanagement by Delhi government and making blames on others to hide their own administrative lapses.
Dalal said, in-spite of the fact there was nearly 40% shortage of water in Yamuna canal this year Haryana government supplied full quantity of water even from their own share to Delhi Water Board looking at the grievances of residents of Delhi. He disclosed that according to Economic Survey Report-2017, there was wastage of nearly 20% water at Delhi due to mismanagement of Delhi government but Haryana state government listened to their baseless allegations. Dalal said, Delhi government moved a civil writ in Supreme Court of India in month May this year blaming Haryana government for not supplying full quantity of water to Delhi Water Board which was r4ejected by the court on the basis of report submitted by the committee presided by Secretary Water Power Ministry.
