Delhi Water Minister Atishi began her indefinite hunger strike in south Delhi’s Bhogal on Friday to get more water from Haryana, in the presence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal and other AAP leaders.
Sunita Kejriwal read out a message from the chief minister, who is currently lodged in Tihar jail, in which he expressed hope that Atishi’s ‘tapasya’ would be successful.
The chief minister said he was immensely pained by seeing on TV the plight of the people facing water shortage amid the ongoing intense heatwave, he said.
