Haryana to sue Kejriwal for ‘mixing poison in Yamuna’ allegation-OxBig News Network

The Haryana government will sue AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal for his allegation that the state’s ruling BJP was mixing “poison” into the Yamuna water, BJP sources said on Monday, adding that their party would also move the Election Commission.

Kejriwal alleged earlier in the day that the BJP is trying to keep the people of Delhi thirsty as it indulges in “dirty politics”.

“BJP people in Haryana are mixing poison in the water and sending it to Delhi. If people in Delhi drink this water, many will die. Can anything be more disgusting than this,” he said on X.

He was following up on Delhi Chief Minister Atishi’s allegation that the Haryana government was “intentionally” draining industrial waste into the Yamuna from where the national capital draws its water.

Reacting to the allegations, a senior BJP leader said, “The Haryana government will take Kejriwal to court. We will also approach the Election Commission on Tuesday against him and his party.”

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini slammed Kejriwal, saying it is his habit to level baseless allegations and blame others.

The EC on Monday sought a factual report from Haryana on the allegations made by Atishi about ammonia levels in water supply from the neighbouring state.
