Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticised former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for his statement accusing the BJP government in Haryana of mixing 'poison' in the Yamuna water. Speaking at a poll rally in Delhi's Ghonda, Modi questioned, "Can the BJP government in Haryana poison the water that the Prime Minister drinks?"

He condemned Kejriwal’s "disgusting" allegation and reminded him of his failed promise to clean the Yamuna.

“They asked for votes on the Yamuna... but now they are being shameless about it. They want Delhi to beg for water. AAP has sinned for political gains. History will never forgive them... Delhi will never forgive them,” PM Modi said amid chats hailing him.

PM Modi said Haryana would never forget the charge and they also live in Delhi. “Haryana will never forget the insinuations. Don't people from Haryana live in Delhi? Can Haryana then poison Delhi's water? Even the PM drinks this water,” he asserted.

He also highlighted the ‘corruption’ cases faced by AAP leaders, including the liquor policy scandal and the 'sheeshmahal' controversy. He pointed out that despite Congress ruling Delhi for 15 years and AAP for another 11, the problems faced by the people of Delhi persist. He urged voters to elect the BJP to resolve these ongoing issues.

“Delhi had been ruled by the Congress for 14 years and the AAP for a further 11... but the problems still prevail... still there is traffic, there is poor infrastructure, there is sewage, pollution, and dirty water. Nothing has changed. But your one vote can change the situation. That is why I appeal to voters to give a chance to Modi to work for Delhi. I have been able to work for the country but not Delhi. The way a family's chief takes care of his family, I will do the same for Delhi," he added.
