Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday lashed out at Delhi water minister Satyendar Jain after the latter accused the administration of the neighbouring state of not releasing the national capital’s “fair share of water” amid a severe supply disruption. Speaking to reporters, Khattar said Haryana is “providing full water to Delhi” and it was “unfortunate” that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) “lies and politicises this issue”.
“As per Supreme Court (SC) order, 1,050 cusecs of water is being given and the Upper Yamuna Board has also confirmed from time to time that Delhi is being given their share of water,” the Haryana chief minister was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Jain took to Twitter earlier in the day to state that he had visited the Wazirabad Barrage, which runs across the Yamuna river to “inspect raw water discharged by Haryana”.
