BJP opposes Kejriwal's move to send water to Latur

April 13, 2016 02:14

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday took strong objection to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's move to send 10 lakh liters of water per day to Latur from Delhi for next two months, wondering how the government can think of such a proposal when the city itself was grappling with water scarcity.

Calling it a move to gain political mileage, leader of opposition in Delhi assembly Vijender Gupta said sending water from Delhi to Maharastra's Latur was not feasible.

Latur is grappling with severe water crisis. In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi today, Kejriwal has sought the Centre's help in sending 10 lakh liters of water per day from Delhi to Latur in the next two months.
