"AAP Deserves Award For Ignorance": Haryana Chief Minister On Floods
NDTV
The AAP had accused the BJP governments at the centre and Haryana of "conspiring" to flood Delhi by releasing excess water.
The allegations by Delhi's ruling Aam Adami Party (AAP) of the Haryana government deliberately releasing excess water to cripple the city with a flood deserve an "award for ignorance", Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has told NDTV.
"Floods are a natural calamity, you can't predict it," Mr Khattar said in an interview, discussing the crisis that has hit several states in North India. "This time a lot of water came down in three days and it was 8-9 times the regular amount. The onslaught of water has not only come from unprecedented rainfall, but a huge amount of water came down from the mountains too," he added.
These floods have led to widespread damage across Haryana. "12 of our districts were affected, two of them are still dealing with flooding. Water has entered agricultural fields in 1,300 villages," explained the Chief Minister.
