India Political Highlights | Misleading charges of water poisoning, genocide amount to endangering national security: Delhi LG to CM AtishiThis blog is now closed. The political turmoil in poll-bound Delhi reached a new high on Monday when Chief Minister Atishi and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal accused the ruling BJP in neighbouring Haryana of 'intentionally' draining industrial waste into the Yamuna river that supplies water to the national capital. Kejriwal further alleged that the saffron party is trying to kill the people of Delhi by mixing 'poison' in river. The BJP-led Haryana government is now planning to sue the AAP chief for his remarks, according to party sources. Assam CM took a jibe at Kharge's remark on BJP leaders' Ganga dip and said this 'reflects troubling mindset against Sanatan Dharma.' Later in the day Kejriwal addressing PM Modi said they should 'stop waiving loans of rich people; help farmers, middle class instead'.

AAP Spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said, "Unfortunately, BJP is doing its dirty politics even on an issue like water. Water in Delhi comes either from Uttar Pradesh or Haryana. The water that Haryana government is providing right now is poisoned. The ammonia level is 700 times, it is extremely dangerous for humans to drink and it cannot even be treated. This has been done deliberately because they want the people of Delhi to drink this water and die and the blame for this will be on Aam Aadmi Party."
