Delhi water minister Atishi to begin indefinite fast over water shortage; BJP denies allegations; AAP seeks support for fair water distribution in Delhi...
Delhi water minister Atishi on Thursday evening said that she will start her indefinite fast over the water shortage that has gripped the Capital over the last fortnight, continuing her allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central and Haryana governments..
Reiterating their stance on the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi governments allegations, Delhi BJP leaders and MPs called Atishis statements false adding that they spoke to the Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini, and are now presenting the factual data and information..
Delhi is experiencing severe heat and needs 1,005 million gallons of water per day (mgd)... 613 mgd water comes from Haryana to Delhi but for some time the Haryana government has been giving only 513 mgd, due to which 28 lakh (2.8 million) people of Delhi are not getting water..
Meanwhile, in a separate press conference, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh called on all parties of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance bloc to support the AAPs demand for fair water distribution to Delhi and alleged that the BJP orchestrated the severe water crisis in Delhi..
