The political row between the Delhi and Haryana governments does not seem to rest. In a sharp counterattack to Aam Admi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal’s claims that Yamuna is poisonous, the Haryana chief minister Nayab Saini, on Wednesday, January 29, took a sip from the river in Delhi’s Palla village.
Videos of the Haryana chief minister taking sips from Yamuna surfaced on the internet. Speaking to reporters later, Saini described AAP’s intentions as “politically motivated and aimed at creating fear among the public.”
“An unfortunate statement by Arvind Kejriwal was given to create fear in the minds of people for his political benefits. Today, I have come here to the banks of Yamuna and took a sip of water from it.
