Kejriwal’s ‘Poison in Yamuna’ Genocide Remark Sparks Controversy

Aam Aadmi Party national convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has given his response to the Election Commission’s notice regarding his statements about Yamuna water pollution. Kejriwal presented facts proving the credibility of his statement and said that the facts prove that no law or any code has been violated. He said that my comment on Yamuna water was in the context of a public health crisis due to the quality of drinking water in Delhi.

Arvind Kejriwal further said that the statement on Yamuna water was made to bring out the serious toxicity and contamination of raw water coming from Haryana. In a letter to the Election Commission, Kejriwal responded, saying, the raw water recently received from Haryana is highly contaminated and extremely toxic to human health. The pollution in the raw water coming from Haryana is so high that Delhi’s water purification plants are unable to process it within safe limits.

What Kejriwal said

Kejriwal had recently accused the Haryana government of “adding poison” to the Yamuna River water. Kejriwal had said that the Haryana government is mixing industrial waste in the Yamuna, polluting the water of Delhi. After this statement, a war of words has started between the BJP and the AAP. At the same time, the Election Commission has taken this statement seriously and said that it is necessary to present sufficient evidence for such allegations during the election.

On this, the Election Commission had said that the Commission said that such allegations have a serious effect of creating enmity between regional groups and residents of neighboring states, creating a threat of law and order situation due to actual or alleged shortage or unavailability of water. The Commission has directed Kejriwal to give his reply to the complaints by 8 pm on January 29, 2025, especially with evidentiary support along with factual and legal matrix so that the Commission can investigate the matter and take appropriate action.
