Kejriwal alleges BJP contaminated Delhi's water supply with poison, says thousands would have died
New Delhi: AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal has accused the BJP-led Haryana government of deliberately contaminating the water supply to Delhi, calling it an act of "dirty politics." He claimed that the Delhi Jal Board detected the presence of poison in the water coming from Haryana and prevented its entry into the capital.
Addressing the public on Monday, Kejriwal alleged that if the tainted water had reached Delhi, it could have led to a "mass genocide," causing thousands of deaths. He assured the residents that his government would not allow any harm to come to them.
"The country has never witnessed such dirty politics before. If the people of Delhi are not voting for BJP, will you kill them by supplying poisoned water? The BJP government in Haryana is mixing poison in Delhi’s water supply. But as long as I am here, I will ensure the safety of Delhiites," Kejriwal said.
He further urged the BJP to refrain from such actions and accused them of stooping to new lows in political rivalry. The Delhi government has reportedly taken measures to ensure the safety of the city's water supply, though there has been no official response from the Haryana government on the allegations.
इतनी गंदी राजनीति देश ने आज तक नहीं देखी थी। अगर दिल्ली की जनता BJP को वोट नहीं दे रही, तो क्या दिल्ली की जनता को ज़हर मिला पानी पिलाकर मार दोगे?

हरियाणा से आने वाले पानी में वहाँ की बीजेपी सरकार ज़हर मिलाकर भेज रही है।

Hundreds of TVK supporters return disappointed from cancelled swearing in ceremony venue
Chennai (PTI): Hundreds of TVK supporters, fuelled by the hope of seeing their leader Vijay as chief minister, gathered at Nehru Indoor Stadium in the city on Thursday, only to be met with locked gates and a lack of information regarding the scheduled proceedings.
Many supporters, travelling from various parts of the state, near and far, like Arumbakkam and Coimbatore, expressed deep disappointment and confusion upon finding the premises closed and without official communication.
Speaking to PTI Videos, fans and party loyalists described a sense of heartbreak after arriving early to secure a place in line.
Charulatha, a supporter, noted the emotional toll of the situation: "We came with so much joy thinking he would become the chief minister today, but there is nothing here. The gates are closed. It is very painful."
Sai Deepika, her daughter and a student set to enter the 12th grade, shared her excitement for the event: "I was very excited to be here. I have been telling everyone he will win and do good things for the people."
A visibly distressed Gunasundari, a long-time political observer from a family of AIADMK supporters, stated she shifted her loyalty to Vijay: "I publicly say I voted for Vijay. I have a belief that he will help those in need. Seeing the gates closed like this is a shock."
Despite the confusion on the ground, the gathered crowd remained steadfast in their political choice. Several supporters highlighted Vijay’s decision to fund party activities independently as a key reason for their trust.
"He didn't take a single rupee from the people for his flag or the stage. He did it all himself," said an emotional Gunasundari. "Even if they try to shame him or create obstacles, he is the one who will eventually win."
Many attendees cited news reports and social media claims as their reason for arriving early on Thursday morning. Some supporters mentioned they had travelled via public transport and waited for hours under the impression that an official declaration or event was imminent.
"My son told me that declarations were made yesterday and everyone was coming today," Gunasundari added. "I didn't even tell him I was leaving; I just started my journey to see him in person for the first time".
