Delhi BJP unit president Virendra Sachdeva on Monday criticised the Aam Aadmi Party government for allegedly seeking excuses to end their indefinite water ‘Satyagraha’. He claimed that the ministers’ meeting at the air-conditioned Satyagraha site was a clear indication of this intent.

Sachdeva highlighted issues related to water management in Delhi, pointing out that the Yamuna River is heavily silted, particularly at the Wazirabad Water Treatment Plant, where 95% of the pond is filled with silt. This, he asserted, prevents water from staying and causes it to flow away, contradicting the AAP’s narrative on water scarcity.

He further accused AAP Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj of inconsistency, noting Bharadwaj’s recent statement that 1050 MGD of water caters to only 10 million people, while the population of Delhi is 30 million.
