Amid the political slug-fest surrounding the Yamuna river water, the Haryana government on Wednesday (January 29, 2025) lodged a case against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for accusing the BJP government of “poisoning” Delhi’s water supply.

Haryana Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Vipul Goel said the Haryana government has taken strong cognisance of the statement of Mr. Kejriwal regarding Delhi’s water supply, and has filed a case against him in the Sonipat court under the Disaster Management Act.
Mr. Goel termed Mr. Kejriwal’s statement absurd and misleading and urged the Election Commission to take strict cognisance of such baseless statements.
“Kejriwal has done cheap politics by making such allegations on Haryana, causing the State government to take legal action. The water supplied to Delhi is the same water consumed by the President, Prime Minister, and Union Ministers,” he said, accusing Mr. Kejriwal of spreading fear not only among the people of Delhi but also among Haryana’s citizens with his false claims.
He accused Mr. Kejriwal of making baseless allegations against Haryana just to save his political image before the elections.
