Mixing Poison In Yamuna Water: Atishi, Kejriwal Accuse BJP Of Plotting Mass Murder To Win Delhi Polls

The AAP and BJP continue to bicker as the clock ticks down to next week's Delhi Assembly election, with ex-Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal now accusing the latter of "mixing poison" in the city's water supply, in an attempt to "create chaos... hoping the blame will fall" on his party's administration.

Speaking to reporters Monday, he said the BJP had done "something that may never have been done in history". He claimed the saffron party - in power in neighbouring Haryana - had added a poisonous substance to the Yamuna river that flows through that state and into the national capital.

"The people of Delhi get drinking water from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh... but the Haryana government has mixed poison in the water coming to Delhi from the Yamuna and sent it here... it is only due to the vigilance of our Delhi Jal Board engineers that this water was stopped."
