NEW DELHI: Responding to the Election Commission’s notice seeking “evidence” to support his allegation that the BJP govt in Haryana was “poisoning” Delhi’s water supply in the run-up to the Feb 5 polls, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal has said that the raw water received from the upper riparian state had been “highly contaminated and (is) extremely poisonous” for human health.
This, he said, was also proved by a letter written by the DJB CEO to the chief secretary of the capital in which she had admitted that the level of ammonia in the Yamuna water was 6.5ppm while DJB water treatment plants were designed to treat up to 1pm.
Late Wednesday night, EC sources said they were examining the reply but pointed out that it seems to have glossed over the central issue of substantiating the charge of “poisoning” of the water.
