Frustration and fear of defeat in the upcoming Delhi polls has made AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal “hell-bent on scaring” people by claiming Haryana was mixing poison in their drinking water, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said on Monday.

He was reacting to Kejriwal’s allegations that the BJP-led Haryana government was “mixing poison” into the Yamuna, which could kill the people of Delhi.

“Often we have seen villains in films spreading fear of well water being poisonous and we have seen Kejriwal doing the same to get a few votes today,” Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva charged.

People know that the dirty water they are being supplied is the result of the AAP government “ruining” the water treatment plants of Delhi Jal Board, he said.

“The frustration and fear of defeat has made Kejriwal so helpless that he has become hell-bent on scaring and intimidating the people of Delhi,” the Delhi BJP chief said.

He said that Haryana supplies water to Delhi as per the standard parameters but due to the AAP government’s negligence, Yamuna water is getting polluted when 42 untreated drains are released into the river between Wazirabad and Okhla in Delhi.
