Water Wars: AAP Minister Atishi Clashes with Delhi LG over Crisis

A social media spat erupted between Delhi's Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena and Water Minister Atishi over the city's water crisis. Accusations flew as Atishi blamed the LG and BJP for water shortages, while the LG office countered by dismissing her claims and highlighting water supply from Haryana.

In a heated exchange on social media, Delhi's Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena and Water Minister Atishi clashed over the city's ongoing water crisis. Atishi accused the LG and BJP of obstructing the water supply to Delhi's residents due to political biases. She claimed that the press release from the LG's office contained abusive language directed at her.

The LG's office, however, refuted her allegations, stating that her comments were misleading and unfounded. According to the LG, Delhi has been receiving more water than its allocated share from Haryana, contradicting Atishi's claims of scarcity. The office cited official documents and a Supreme Court affidavit to support their stance.

Further complicating the issue, the LG's office criticized the Delhi government for not addressing the water mafia problem and for neglecting the maintenance of the Munak Canal, emphasizing that the repair responsibility lies with Delhi, not Haryana.
