Delhi Congress on Saturday held ‘matka phod’ protests across the city accusing the Arvind Kejriwal government and the BJP in view of the water crisis here. The protests were held in all 280 blocks in the capital city.
Carrying earthen pots on their heads and Congress flags, the protesters raised slogans against the Delhi government and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Later, they threw the pots on the ground displaying their anger against failures of the Delhi Government and the indifferent attitude of the Delhi Water Board.
Hitting at their alliance partners of Lok Sabha 2024 elections, former MLA Jai Kishan said, “In the midst of severe water crisis and dirty water in Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is fooling the public while staying in jail and ordering Water Minister Atishi that there will be no shortage of water in Delhi. When the head of the state is in jail, who will instruct the officials? CBI and ED raids and investigations are going on in all the departments of Delhi Government. In such a situation, the water crisis should also be investigated by the CBI.”
Meanwhile, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva announced that on Sunday all district units of the party in Delhi will protest at prominent spots in their districts against the AAP government creating a water crisis in Delhi. Several Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) will also join protests with BJP workers.
