Delhi lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Saturday hit out at the Aam Aadmi Party-led city government, accusing its ministers of turning the water crisis into an ‘opportunity' to blame neighbouring states. Pointing that the capital is dependent on drinking water supply from neighbouring states of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, Saxena added,"Interstate water-sharing arrangements are settled through institutional mechanisms created by the Ministry of Jal Shakti, GoI, upheld time and again by the highest court of the land." The Delhi L-G's statement comes amid a heated war of words between the governments of Delhi and Haryana over the acute water crisis in the capital.
