Irresponsible attitude of AAP govt led to water crisis in Delhi: LG

Delhi LG, VK Saxena has blamed the AAP led government for the water crisis in the national capital. "...It has become a habit of the Delhi government to hide its inefficiency and inability during the past 10 years. They blame others for their every failure and just avoid their responsibilities by doing social media press, conferences and court cases and misleading the public. I believe this shortage of water in Delhi is only due to the management of the government..." he said. Talking to an agency Saxena alleged that  from the last few days, we can see the irresponsible attitude of the Delhi government towards the water crisis in Delhi. Today in Delhi, people are seen risking their lives and running behind tankers to get water. But the government is blaming other states for its failures, he said and added that the Chief Minister's promise of 24-hour water supply in Delhi has so far proved to be a trick. Haryana and Uttar Pradesh are continuously supplying their fixed quota of water to Delhi.

Saxena said, the biggest reason for the severe shortage of water in Delhi today is that fifty-four per cent of the water produced is not accounted for. 40 per cent of water is wasted during supply due to old and dilapidated pipelines."This water is stolen and sold to the poor by the tanker mafia. How unfortunate is this that while on the one hand, in the rich areas of Delhi, an average of 550 litres of water is being supplied per person per day, on the other hand, only fifteen litres of water per person is being supplied on an average in the villages and slums..." he said.
