The controversy over the alleged 'poisoning' of Yamuna water escalated as Congress approached the chief election commissioner on Tuesday, challenging AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal's incendiary statements. The opposition party accused Kejriwal of spreading rumors during the election campaign and called for a probe.

Sandeep Dikshit, a Congress leader, urged action from Lt Governor VK Saxena against Kejriwal and Chief Minister Atishi. He labeled the allegations of 'genocide' as dangerous and unfounded, citing no evidence even as election tensions rise in Delhi.

Amid the disputes, AAP defended Kejriwal's vigilance, claiming a tragedy was prevented, while criticizing Congress for its perceived alliance with BJP, as political blame games continue over water contamination concerns.
