Nayab Singh Saini: AAP & BJP spar after Haryana CM takes sip of Yamuna water | Delhi News – The Times of India

AAP & BJP spar after Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini takes sip of Yamuna water
AAP claimed that Saini (in pic) pretended to drink the water

CHANDIGARH/NEW DELHI: A fresh row between AAP and BJP erupted on Wednesday, as Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini “drank” water from the banks of the Yamuna near the state border to counter AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal‘s allegations that BJP’s Haryana govt had “poisoned” the river water supplied to Delhi. Hours later, Kejriwal claimed Saini only “pretended to drink” Yamuna water and actually “spat” some of it back in the river.
After attending the function at Adi Badri in Yamunanagar, Saini headed towards Delhi by car and took a cavalcade to Dasihra village, where Yamuna enters the territory of the national capital. There, he “took a sip of water”. Soon after, Saini fired his salvo at chief minister Atishi and former CM Arvind Kejriwal.
“I invited (CM) Atishi to this spot. But she did not turn up. Perhaps she might be cooking something more poisonous to cater to the public,” said Saini.
The Haryana CM said it was “very unfortunate” that Kejriwal gave “painful” and “terrorising” remarks about Yamuna for political gains. “He talked of mass genocide by Haryana BJP by poisoning Yamuna,” said Saini.
He said as soon as the issue cropped up, teams from World Health Organisation (WHO) as well as Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and other agencies collected the samples. “All the samples were found to be in order, and there was nothing like traces of poisonous substances as he was talking about,” said Saini.
The Haryana CM also shared his video on X, saying, “Performed achman of holy Yamuna water at the Haryana-Delhi border without any hesitation or reluctance.”
Later, AAP hit back at Saini and condemned his act of “pretending” to drink Yamuna’s water. Calling it a “failed PR stunt”, the party said it exposed the dire state of water contamination affecting Delhi residents.
Kejriwal said, “Saini pretended to drink Yamuna’s water and then spat the same water back into the Yamuna. When I pointed out that due to ammonia contamination, Yamuna’s water could be a threat to the lives of Delhi residents, they threatened to file an FIR against me. The same toxic water they refuse to drink is being supplied to Delhi’s citizens and I will not let this happen.”
Senior AAP functionary and former deputy CM Manish Sisodia said, “BJP has once again exposed its own double standards. Saini himself could not consume Yamuna’s water, proving how toxic it is. Yet, BJP’s govt in Haryana continues to send this hazardous water to Delhi. Filing an FIR against Kejriwal will not hide the truth — the people of Delhi will hold BJP accountable.”
“Haryana CM’s PR stunt failed miserably. Nayab Singh Saini, in his theatrics, ended up insulting Yamuna maiya. Nayab Saini tried to hide his sins by pretending to drink Yamuna’s water, but as soon as he realised it was toxic, he spat it back into the Yamuna,” AAP posted on X.
