Feb 02, 2025

New Delhi [India], February 2 : Aam Aadmi Party's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has opened up a shop of lies, which will promptly locked by the people of Delhi on February 8, claimed Haryana Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday.
Addressing a rally in Rani Khera, Mundka area of the national capital, in support of BJP candidate Gajender Drall, Haryana CM said that Kejriwal has lied about Yamuna water being poisoned by Haryana only because he was not able to clean the river while being in power.
"He had said to people, to give me (Kejriwal) time till 2025 to clean the Yamuna, and if it is not clean then I will not ask for vote. It is 2025 now, and Yamuna is worse than ever so with what face does he come to you? So he just put the blame on Haryana that Haryana is putting poison in Yamuna," CM Saini said.
Calling the "poisoned Yamuna" claims of AAP as propaganda, CM Saini said that Arvind Kejriwal has opened up a shop of lies, which the people of Delhi will be locking down by voting AAP out of power in the upcoming Delhi assembly election.
"Kejriwal then did propaganda, that Kejriwal put up a wall and stopped the poison from Yamuna, this kind of propaganda if anyone can do it is Kejriwal. He has opened up a shop of lies. On 8th (February), the people of Delhi will put lock on his shop of lies," CM Saini added during the rally.
The CM further claimed that Kejriwal lies solely for his benefit, adding, "When he said this thing about poison in Yamuna, I was also worried because he accused me too. But I want to tell you Kejriwal, that you were born on the soil of Haryana, but you have put a black spot on that soil. When you are not of Haryana, how can you belong to Delhi? As he lies, he can do anything for his benefit."
Arvind Kejriwal recently stated that the poisonous water in Yamuna that was being sent to Delhi has now stopped. The amount of ammonia in the water coming to Delhi has decreased from 7 ppm to 2 ppm.
This comes after Arvind Kejriwal, along with Delhi CM Atishi and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann met Election Commission of India (ECI) after the latter issued a notice to AAP chief to substantiate his claims of Yamuna being poisoned by Haryana.
Delhi will go for polls in a single phase on February 5, while the counting of votes will take place on February 8.
