Delhi BJP held protests at 52 major locations in the national capital against the water crisis in the city while slamming the AAP government. Carrying bottles of dirty water, the BJP protesters raised slogans against the ruling 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. Addressing the protest at Krishna Nagar, BJP Delhi President Virendra Sachdeva stated that they have proven that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his government are solely responsible if Delhiites are not getting water today.

“By sheltering water thieves and tanker mafias, Aam Aadmi Party legislators have turned water into a business, regardless of whether the people of Delhi get water or not. If water theft and leakage are stopped in Delhi, every resident will get sufficient water, but Aam Aadmi Party legislators have no sympathy for the people of Delhi. They only care about their hefty earnings,” he alleged, adding that BJP will continue its struggle until every drop is accounted for.

Addressing the protest at the Jal Board office in Mukherjee Nagar, three times BJP North east Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari said that all departments of the Delhi government are mired in corruption, with the Jal Board being the epicentre. “The MLA's office is running inside the Jal Board. It seems Atishi has become the water minister just to sell water to tanker mafias. We will continue to fight for justice for the people of Delhi,” he said.

South Delhi BJP MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, while demonstrating a protest at Khanpur, claimed, “Arvind Kejriwal lied to get votes from Delhiites and, despite being in power for three terms, has done nothing for water supply, even though he has promised dozens of times that he will provide 24-hour water from taps.”

He mentioned that Kejriwal promised to bring 150 MGD of water from Muradnagar through pipelines, but that has not been done. “The Kejriwal government has not built a single water treatment plant in the past 10 years,” he said.

Northwest Delhi BJP MP Yogendra Chandolia asked Water Minister Atishi why, despite having three Rajya Sabha MPs, 61 MLAs, and councillors in Delhi, they are not providing water to Delhiites.

“The truth is that Kejriwal planned to make alcohol cheaper and water expensive, but BJP did not let it succeed. Just like the liquor scam has been exposed, with Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in jail, the water board scam will also be revealed. When people approach AAP legislators about water, they are threatened,” he said, while addressing the public at a protest at Karol Bagh

At the protest in Moti Nagar, New Delhi BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj said, “If there is a will, there is a way, but Kejriwal's government lacks the will, which is why Delhiites are suffering for water while their legislators are busy trading water. The crumbling pipelines and the decade-long AAP government have forced Delhiites to take to the streets for water.” She stated that Water Minister Atishi should address the shortcomings in water availability on the ground instead of holding press conferences.

Addressing the protest at Sangam Park Lal Bagh, Chandni Chowk BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal said “The water issue in Delhi is not new, so Kejriwal should explain what his government has done in the past 10 years. Did they come up with any permanent solution? The reality is that Kejriwal's government only wants to politicise the issue.”
