A day after the Haryana government told Delhi that it would not be able to share water with the national capital, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Friday that the issue of water should not be politicised.
When asked about Haryana’s threat to cut the water supply to Delhi, Kejriwal said, “It’s not good to do politics over water.”
The CM said that his government is ensuring Delhiites get clean drinking water. “Ensuring that everyone in Delhi has access to clean drinking water, without any discrimination,” Kejriwal later tweeted.
Delhi Water Minister Kapil Mishra reiterated that the Yamuna does not belong to Haryana alone.
