Delhi: BJP Chief Virendra Sachdeva slams Delhi Government for neglecting water crisis
May 29, 2024
New Delhi [India], May 29 : Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Delhi BJP Chief Virendra Sachdeva criticised the Delhi government's failure to address the water crisis in the capital city of Delhi.
Sachdeva remarked, "Delhi is currently witnessing a severe heatwave, resulting in a water crisis. It was very evident since April that Delhi would face prolonged extreme heat. I question why the Delhi government did not implement a 'Summer Action Plan' and failed to prepare for this crisis."
"Usually the meeting for the 'Summer Action Plan' is held by the end of March. But throughout April and May, the ruling party of Delhi was involved only in politics. They just have wasted the time of residents of Delhi through their corruption, arrests and bail. The Cabinet Ministers of Delhi focused solely on their party's interests rather than the people's needs," said Sachdeva.
He further added, "They often blame Haryana for water, so I want to ask why don't they source water from their ruling state Punjab or their coalition state, Himachal Pradesh? They can't even give a single line answer to the question of what efforts they made to meet the water demands of Delhi."
Criticising the AAP government, he said, "It is your responsibility to regulate water levels and control water tanker operations. Ensuring the supply of pure and sufficient water to Delhi is essential. But they have only made empty promises to the residents of Delhi."
Earlier, Virendra Sachdeva on Tuesday took a jibe at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for seeking interim bail extension on medical grounds and questioned Kejriwal, saying that if he is so concerned about his health, then why is he taking part in election rallies in Punjab.
Voting in the seven parliamentary constituencies of Delhi was conducted in the sixth phase of elections on May 25 amid tight security and arrangements.
The seven constituencies are Chandni Chowk, East Delhi, New Delhi, North East Delhi, North West Delhi, South Delhi, and West Delhi.
