Clean water will reach Delhi homes once BJP forms government – Chief Minister
The Chief Minister questioned Sh Arvind Kejriwal, stating that while he had promised to provide clean drinking water to the people of Delhi free of cost, neither did the Yamuna River get cleaned nor did the people receive access to clean water during his tenure. He added that the current situation in Delhi is such that residents are now forced to drink contaminated water. The Chief Minister further said that prior to 2014, during Congress rule, women in Haryana had to carry water pots for two kilometers.
