Kejriwal allowed Yamuna to get polluted, forced Delhiites to drink its water: Amit Shah

The AAP means ‘lies and deception’, said Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging that its government failed to fulfil any of its promises. Arvind Kejriwal made entire Delhi a ‘kind of dustbin’ during the 10-year rule of AAP, the senior BJP leader added

Union Home Minister Amit Shah Thursday (January 30, 2025) alleged that AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal allowed the Yamuna river to get polluted and forced the people of Delhi to drink its water.

“With people asking what happened to fulfilling his promise of making the Yamuna clean like the Thames river in London, Kejriwal is making an excuse by falsely accusing the BJP government in Haryana of mixing poison in the river,” Mr. Shah charged while addressing a public meeting in the Rohini Assembly constituency.

He termed Mr. Kejriwal's accusation against the Haryana government "petty politics" and alleged the AAP government could not fulfil Mr. Kejriwal’s promise of cleaning the Yamuna during its 10-year rule due to "corruption".

"Kejriwal says people from the BJP have mixed poison in the Yamuna to trouble the people of Delhi. I have come to tell Kejriwal that he should stop telling lies to win the election," Mr. Shah told the gathering.

"Kejriwal, you polluted Yamuna and forced the people of Delhi to drink its water. And you offered all the money meant to be used in the cleaning of the river to AAP's corruption," he charged.

Mr. Shah alleged that the AAP supremo is resorting to such "petty politics" after sensing his party's defeat in the upcoming Assembly polls. "They keep making excuses... Kejriwal ji, leave (Delhi for the BJP) if you cannot do anything. We will show how Delhi can be better governed," he said.
