Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday said Delhi is being supplied its share of 1,050 cusecs of water, days after the Arvind Kejriwal government sent SOS to the BJP-ruled state seeking additional water in the Yamuna river in the face of a water crisis.

He accused the AAP government in Delhi of doing politics on the matter and presenting false data.

Notably, the AAP government in Delhi had in the past too blamed Haryana for not releasing Delhi's "legitimate share" of water.

Hitting out at the Arvind Kejriwal-led dispensation, Khattar said, "It is unfortunate that they are telling lies, doing politics on the issue and presenting false figures."
Later, in an official statement, Khattar said, "On the contrary, the Aam Aadmi Party government of Punjab is not giving Haryana's share of water. The Chief Minister of Delhi should first get the water of Haryana's share from Punjab."
