Guwahati: AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal has launched a scathing attack on Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, accusing him of doing politics over his claim that BJP-ruled Haryana “poisoned” Yamuna water to disrupt Delhi’s water supply.
Kejriwal alleged that Kumar is seeking a post-retirement job and challenged him to drink Yamuna water at a press conference.

Kejriwal’s remarks came after the Election Commission sent him a notice, asking him to provide factual evidence and respond to five questions by Friday. The AAP chief slammed the Election Commission, saying they are engaging in politics and cannot see money and blankets being openly distributed in Delhi.
In a press conference, Kejriwal displayed four water bottles containing 7 PPM of ammonia water mixed with chlorine, challenging Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva, and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini to drink the water.

Kejriwal also claimed that Saini stopped taking calls from his Delhi counterpart Atishi after she flagged the issue of increasing ammonia levels in the Yamuna water.
He alleged that the water was “highly contaminated and extremely poisonous” to human health.
