Assam CM Sarma targets Kejriwal over Delhi floods

Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday targeted his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal, saying that the state faces floods with “brave hearts” and “does not blame others.” The AAP government should not blame other states for the flood-like situation in Delhi and rather focus on resolving the issue, he said. Sarma said that Assam also witnesses floods because of the water from China and Bhutan but his government has “set a scientific response” instead of blaming their governments. 

Every year, we receive water from Bhutan, Arunachal, and even from China. We face floods with brave hearts. We experience pain and misery beyond human imagination, yet we do not blame others. Because we know that nature does not recognize geography.#delhiflood

“Blaming other state governments is not going to solve the problem, it is your problem and you have to resolve it by yourself,” he added amid a blame game over the flood-like situation in the national capital.

The Aam Aadmi Party accused the BJP-led governments at the Centre and in Haryana of hatching a conspiracy to plunge the national capital into a flood crisis by releasing water from the Hathnikund Barrage.
