Even as Delhi Water Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi continued her indefinite hunger strike for the second day today alleging that Haryana is supplying less water per day to Delhi, Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena said that the AAP-led Delhi government is playing the same blame gam
Delhi unit BJP Chief Virendraa Sachdeva termed the indefinite hunger strike of Delhi Minister Atishi against the water crisis a "political drama" to distract from alleged water theft.
Delhi LG VK Saxena on Saturday launched an attack on the AAP-led Delhi government over the Delhi water crisis, saying that the same blame-game story is repeated by the government.
The AAP leader began her strike on Friday, when she was accompanied by Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh and other members of the party at Bhogal, near Jangpura.
Morning visuals showed people from Chilla Gaon of Mayur Vihar area, Sanjay Colony, Okhla area, and Geeta Colony area standing in queues, holding onto cans and buckets and crowding around water tankers amid water shortage in the national capital this summer.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader will go to Raj Ghat to pay tributes to Mahatma Gandhi, following which she will start an indefinite fast at Bhogal, Jangpura at noon.
Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinay Kumar Saxena raised concern on the lowering of the water table in the country, terming the situation "alarming" for everyone, and said that it shows that we are not doing justice to 'Mother Earth.'
Amid soaring temperatures, these scenes have become a daily occurrence in the national capital in many areas since the start of the summer season this year.
Congress' Delhi unit President Devender Yadav on Wednesday slammed the politicisation of the water crisis issue and held the AAP government and Delhi's Water Minister responsible for mishandling the situation.
Aam Aadmi Party MP Sandeep Pathak on Wednesday alleged that Haryana's Bharatiya Janata Party government was responsible for the water crisis in the capital city.
