Arvind Kejriwal declares success as ammonia levels in Yamuna drop following AAP intervention

Arvind Kejriwal declares success as ammonia levels in Yamuna drop following AAP intervention

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal expressed his gratitude to the people of Delhi for their "struggle" that successfully halted the supply of contaminated water.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Kejriwal shared that the ammonia levels in the water brought to Delhi had decreased significantly from 7 parts per million (ppm) to 2 ppm, effectively averting a potential water crisis.

He celebrated this achievement, stating, "Many congratulations to the people of Delhi. Our struggle bore fruit. The poisonous water 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. If we had not raised our voice and struggled, half the population of Delhi would not have been getting water today. We saved Delhi from a huge water crisis."

In the same post, Kejriwal also commented on a notice issued by the Election Commission, which had threatened him regarding his statements on the water crisis. He addressed the matter directly, saying, "The Election Commission has issued a notice and threatened me. My reply to the Election Commission."

Earlier on Friday, Kejriwal had sent a letter to the Election Commission, accusing Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini of being complicit in the water contamination issue.

In his letter, Kejriwal demanded that a criminal case be filed against Saini, claiming the ammonia levels in the raw water supplied to Delhi from Haryana had reached dangerous and unprecedented heights. He pointed out that ammonia levels began to sharply increase around January 15, with the contamination reaching 7 ppm shortly after.

Kejriwal further explained that Delhi’s Chief Minister, Atishi, had contacted the Haryana CM several times in an attempt to resolve the crisis, but her efforts were unsuccessful.

In the letter, Kejriwal detailed that Delhi's Chief Minister had personally requested Haryana's CM in December to either reduce the ammonia levels or provide additional water to dilute the contamination. Although Haryana’s CM assured action would be taken, Kejriwal claimed no meaningful steps were made, and eventually, the Haryana CM stopped answering calls from Delhi’s CM.

Kejriwal alleged that there was a "deliberate conspiracy" on the part of Haryana's CM, a BJP leader, to influence the Delhi elections by sending highly polluted water to the capital.

He argued that the strategy was aimed at creating an artificial water crisis that would have blamed the AAP government in Delhi. This, Kejriwal claimed, would have led to severe public misery for millions of Delhi residents.

Meanwhile, the Election Commission held an urgent meeting with Arvind Kejriwal to discuss the matter, adjusting its schedule due to the ongoing election campaign in Delhi.

The Commission gave Kejriwal a chance to explain his claims regarding the water contamination and its alleged political motives.
