Accusations of corruption and inaction against the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have ignited a political firestorm in Delhi. According to BJP leaders, despite Haryana releasing adequate water, Delhi is grappling with an unprecedented water crisis.

In a joint press conference, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva criticized Water Minister Atishi for allegedly spreading false information regarding the water supply. He questioned how water tankers and bottled water were readily available if there was indeed a shortage.

Sachdeva further alleged pipeline leakages and the involvement of the tanker mafia, with collusion from ruling party MLAs, as key factors exacerbating the crisis. He charged that AAP leaders, including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, have historically shifted blame to neighboring states but have failed to address the root issues within Delhi.
