BJP today approached the Election Commission over the Aam Aadmi Party’s Yamuna water poison allegation against the Haryana Government. A party delegation comprising Union Ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Bhupendra Yadav, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini, and others met with the Commission in New Delhi. Addressing media after the meeting, Mr. Yadav alleged that AAP stooped to a new low. He termed AAP’s remark as a clear violation of the Model Code of Conduct and election norms.

Finance Minister Sitharaman said that the party has demanded action in the matter to prevent Mr. Kejriwal from campaigning in the national capital. Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also met with the Election Commission. Ms. Atishi said that the party informed the EC about how the ammonia levels in the Yamuna water coming from Haryana had reached toxic levels.
