CM Nayab Singh Saini : Arvind Kejriwal should apologize to people of Haryana and Delhi for his irresponsible and unfortunate statement
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini has condemned former Delhi Chief Minister, Sh. Arvind Kejriwal for spreading fear among people for his political gains, calling his statement unfortunate and irresponsible. The Chief Minister has asked the former Delhi Chief Minister, Sh. Arvind Kejriwal to apologize to the people of Delhi and Haryana for his remarks.
On Wednesday, CM Nayab Singh Saini visited Point No. 4 of the Yamuna River near Dahisara village at the Delhi-Haryana border, performed prayers, and drank Yamuna’s water to demonstrate its purity.
Arvind Kejriwal is playing petty politics with lies
The Chief Minister while responding to Kejriwal’s claim that the Haryana BJP government is sending poisoned water into the Yamuna, clarified that water samples taken by the Water Authority of India did not contain any toxic substances.
The Chief Minister accused Arvind Kejriwal of engaging in deceitful politics. He said that Kejriwal failed to fulfill the promises he made to Delhi’s citizens over the last 10 years. By falsely claiming that Yamuna’s water is toxic, Kejriwal is creating unnecessary fear and distress among people, which is highly unfortunate, said CM Nayab Singh Saini.
CM Nayab Singh Saini, citing the reports of the last four samples from the Pollution Control Board, said that Yamuna’s water was found to be completely clean at Haryana’s border before entering Delhi. Haryana is sending clean water to Delhi, but when it returns to Haryana via Palwal and Faridabad, its condition worsens significantly.
Centre had given Rs. 8,500 crore for Yamuna cleaning, Former Delhi Chief Minister has not shown any accountability
CM Nayab Singh Saini also raised concerns over the Rs. 8,500 crore allocated by the central government for water purification and sewage treatment in Delhi. He questioned where the money had gone, stating that Kejriwal failed to install proper treatment plants to release clean water into the Yamuna.
He further alleged that Delhi saw no development in the last 10 years, which is why streets remain waterlogged, and the sewage system is dysfunctional.
The Chief Minister recalled how 10 years ago, Kejriwal stood near the Yamuna and promised to clean the sacred river, but no action was taken. Now, the people of Delhi are eagerly waiting for the upcoming elections.
Arvind Kejriwal should apologize for his misleading statements
CM Nayab Singh Saini said that Kejriwal must apologize for his misleading statements. He accused Kejriwal of consistently blaming Haryana sometimes for stubble burning, sometimes for water pollution without any factual basis.
