Taking to X, Kejriwal wrote: "Many congratulations to the people of Delhi. Our struggle bore fruit. The poisonous water that was being sent to Delhi has now stopped. The amount of ammonia in the water coming to Delhi has decreased from 7 ppm to 2 ppm."






"Had we not raised our voices and struggled, half the population of Delhi would be deprived of water today. We saved Delhi from a major water crisis. The Election Commission has issued a notice to me and threatened to punish me," he said, attaching a picture of his reply to the poll body.
