Delhi’s Water Wars | Power Play by Anand Mishra

The Hindu  

Published : Jan 31, 2025 17:20 IST - 6 MINS READ Dear readers, The climate scientist and author Giulio Boccaletti once said that managing water is ultimately an exercise of power, and our relationship with water is inherently political. As the campaign for the Delhi Assembly election reaches its finale, the Haryana government this week filed a case against AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal over his statement that there was “poison” in the Yamuna river water coming to Delhi from Haryana. Countering Kejriwal’s accusation, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini took a sip of Yamuna water at Palla village in Delhi. In July 2023, the Kejriwal government blamed Haryana for Delhi’s floods, sparking sharp reactions from the then Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, who termed it “calamity politics”. Khattar said: “It seems that Haryana becomes a nightmare for Kejriwal whenever Delhi is in trouble.” This was after a Minister in the Kejriwal government called the Delhi flood a “BJP-made disaster”.
