As Delhi struggles with water pollution from the Yamuna River, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal reached the residence of Delhi CM Atishi on Saturday carrying a bottle of contaminated water, which she then poured outside the CM's residence.
She also placed the bottle of polluted water just outside the gate of Chief Minister Atishi's residence.
She also slammed the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government, claiming that contaminated water was being supplied to the residents of the national capital.
Speaking to ANI, Swati Maliwal said, "The people of Sagarpur, Dwarka had called me and the situation there is very bad... I went to a house and black water was being supplied there. I filled that black water in a bottle and I brought that water here, at the Chief Minister's residence. Since 2015 we have been hearing that next year everything will be fine... That black water which I have brought - they have no shame, will Delhi drink this? I warned the Chief Minister - this was just a sample. If within fifteen days she does not fix the water supply of the entire Delhi, I will bring a whole tanker full of such water.”
“I am leaving this water for her. She can bathe with this water, drink this water or purify her sins... Chhath Puja is coming. Today was Govardhan Puja, yesterday was Diwali and this is the condition of Delhi... Who can drink this water and live? Who can stay alive after drinking this water? The Chief Minister is also the Water Minister. Is her job just to make fun by holding ten press conferences every day?," the AAP MP added.
