Punjab-Haryana Water War Reaches Delhi: BJP Blames AAP's "Dirty Politics"

A simmering water row between Punjab and Haryana is causing a ripple effect in Delhi, where Aam Aadmi Party's Manish Sisodia has hit out at the BJP for taking away Punjab's water and betraying its farmers. The BJP-led Delhi government volleyed to the accusations, adding that the AAP is playing dirty politics over water, referring to the back and forth between the Punjab and Haryana governments over the release of Bhakra dam water.

The exchange concerns the Bhakra dam in Punjab, among the largest under the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan which was suspended after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
