The poll panel’s letter pointed out that while Kejriwal had provided a reply, it failed to address the critical issue of his statement about the alleged poisoning of the Yamuna River.The statement, which Kejriwal made during the campaign, equated the act to “an act of war between nations” and claimed that it was timely detected by the engineers of the Delhi Jal Board, who reportedly stopped the poisonous water at the Delhi border.The ECI further observed that no factual or legal evidence had been provided to substantiate the claim and directed Kejriwal to submit a second, more detailed reply.The Commission has asked Kejriwal to clarify the type of poison allegedly mixed by the Haryana government in the Yamuna River, the supporting evidence regarding the quantity and nature of the poison, the method and location of its detection, and the role of the Delhi Jal Board engineers in preventing the poisonous water from entering the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
