Carrying bottles of dirty water, the BJP protesters raised slogans against the AAP government and smashed ‘matkas’ (earthen pitchers) as a mark of protest over water scarcity in the national Capital.
They also alleged that people were getting sick after being forced to drink dirty water from the taps.
At a protest in Geeta Colony, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva claimed that Haryana was releasing Delhi’s full share of water into Yamuna.
“This water gets stolen by tanker mafia after it enters Delhi because the ministers and MLAs of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party are hand in glove with them,” Sachdeva charged.
He said the Delhi BJP will continue to protest against the AAP government till people get adequate water.
The party has been in power for the last 10 years but people are getting contaminated water, he said.
