'Pretended To Drink': Kejriwal Retorts After Saini Takes Sip Of Yamuna Water Amid 'Poison' Row

Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini shared a video on X, showing him taking sips of water from River Yamuna and hit out at AAP, saying there is no poison in Yamuna water.

Amid the ongoing political war over the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) claim of the BJP-ruled Haryana mixing poison in Yamuna water, CM Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday took a sip of water from the river to attack the Delhi government over the claim.

However, AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal, hours later, claimed that the Haryana CM pretended to drink Yamuna water and then spat some of it back in the river.

Kejriwal, sharing the video of the Haryana CM taking a sip of water, said that the BJP wants Delhi people to consume the poisonous water.

"Haryana Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini pretended to drink Yamuna water... and then spat the same water back into the Yamuna. When I said that Yamuna water could be dangerous for the lives of Delhiites due to ammonia contamination, they threatened to file an FIR against me," Kejriwal said in a post on X.

"They want to make the people of Delhi drink the same poisonous water which they themselves cannot drink. I will never let this happen," he added.

Earlier the day, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini shared a video on X, showing him taking sips of water from River Yamuna and hit out at AAP, saying there is no poison in water coming from his state to national capital. 

"There is no poison in the water coming to Delhi from Haryana, but your minds are definitely filled with poison," Saini said in a post in Hindi on X. 

"Sometimes for the shortage of water, sometimes for the smoke from stubble and sometimes for all your failures, you always keep blaming the people of Haryana," Saini said.

The AAP on Monday accused the ruling BJP in Haryana of intentionally draining industrial waste into the Yamuna, with Kejriwal alleging that it is trying to kill people by mixing poison in the river. 

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi alleged that the BJP is deliberately disrupting Delhi's water supply as a historic loss awaits the saffron party in the February 5 assembly polls in the national capital. Kejriwal had alleged that the BJP is trying to keep the people of Delhi thirsty as it indulges in dirty politics.

"The BJP people in Haryana are mixing poison in the water and sending it to Delhi. If people in Delhi drink this water, many will die. Can anything be more disgusting than this? The poison that is being mixed in the water cannot even be cleaned in water treatment plants. For the safety of the people of Delhi, the water supply has to be stopped in many areas," Kejriwal had said in a post on X.
