New Delhi, Jul 14 (PTI) Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh on Friday lashed out at the BJP government in Haryana, accusing it of being responsible for the flood-like situation in parts of Delhi by releasing water in the Yamuna from its Hathnikund barrage.
The BJP hit back, with its Delhi unit chief alleging that the AAP government was "evading responsibility" and blaming other states, as it did during the Covid period Addressing a press conference here, Singh said the BJP MPs in Delhi "could have negotiated" with the Haryana government to tackle the flood-like situation here, but they chose not to.
"Haryana released water from the Hathnikund barrage towards Delhi only and this has caused the flood-like situation here. The chief secretaries of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana should have coordinated to tackle it," claimed Singh, who is an AAP Rajya Sabha member.
