Haryana restricted water supply after Atishi went on hunger strike, says Delhi minister.

 

Saurabh Bharadwaj, Delhi's health minister

Saurabh Bharadwaj, an AAP politician and Delhi minister, alleged on Sunday that the BJP administration in Haryana has further decreased water supplies, even after Delhi Minister Atishi launched her indefinite hunger strike seeking Delhi's due share of water from the adjacent state.

Bharadwaj claimed that the Haryana BJP administration is always lying. "They're reducing water..."After Atishi sat in protest, Haryana lowered at least 17 MGD (million gallons per day) more water...so now Haryana is providing 117 MGD less," Bharadwaj told ANI.

The minister made a jab at the BJP, saying, "A place that talks about one nation, one election, one team, the national capital is being deprived of water by the BJP government in Haryana."

Meanwhile, Atishi's indefinite hunger strike in Delhi's Bhogal, near Jangpura, reached its third day on Sunday. The minister stated that Delhi is experiencing a severe water problem since the national capital lacks its own water supply and must rely on water from nearby states.

"Delhi's total water supply is 1005 MGD. Haryana accounts for 613 MGD (million gallons per day), however it has decreased over the previous three weeks. They are not providing water to Delhi," Atishi said in a video message posted on her social networking account X (previously Twitter).

Atishi went on to say that Delhi's water needs is 1,005 million gallons per day (MGD), with 613 MGD coming from nearby Haryana.

She said that for the past three weeks, Haryana had cut water supply to Delhi, delivering just 513 MGD. "1 MGD of water can serve 28,500 people so, if Haryana is sending 1000 MGD less water to Delhi, this is ultimately affecting around 28 lakh people," explained Atishi.

The minister said that there is adequate water in the HathniKund Barrage, but "the gate through which water is released for Delhi has been closed, and water is not being released from there."

Despite the water crisis in Delhi, residents continued to form enormous lines at water tanks to satisfy their daily needs. Tankers delivered water to residents of Geeta community and Chilla Gaon in Mayur Vihar.

Suraj Revanna, the brother of suspended JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna, was detained on sexual assault allegations on Sunday following a complaint from a party worker. Suraj Revanna was arrested a day after being charged under several sections of the IPC, including "unnatural offences," for allegedly sexually assaulting a 27-year-old man a few days prior.

The complainant claimed that Suraj Revanna sexually molested him at his farmhouse in Ghannikada on June 16, allegations that the JD(S) leader strongly denied. Instead, he accused the complainant of attempting to extort money from him by threatening to file a bogus sexual assault claim against him.

Suraj's assistant, HL Shivakumar, submitted a complaint alleging that the JD(S) worker requested ₹5 crore, which was eventually lowered to ₹2 lakh. Suraj's assistant said that the JD(S) worker met with Suraj six months ago and again in June, looking for work. Suraj stated that he cannot now assist the man in finding work, but may consider it in the future. The man then requested ₹5 crore.

"I completely reject these charges. They are involved in a political plot. An FIR has also been filed against the complainant. Let the truth out. "I believe in the law of the land," Suraj Revanna stated.

Who is Suraj Revanna?

Suraj Revanna, a member of Karnataka's legislative council (MLC), is the oldest son of Holenarasipur MLA HD Revanna and grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda. The whole Revanna family has been mired in scandal after pen drives with recordings of Prajwal Revanna with several women were discovered in Hassan.

Prajwal Revanna was arrested by the SIT at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru on May 31 after returning from Germany, where he had been holed up after rape and intimidation charges were filed against him.

H D Revanna and his wife Bhavani are free on bail. They have been accused of kidnapping and harbouring an alleged victim of their son Prajwal's sexual crimes.
