Carrying water samples from various parts of Delhi, BJP members staged a protest near Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence on Thursday, days after a report said drinking water in the national capital was unfit for drinking.

Kejriwal is forcing people to drink this "polluted" water in the name of free supply by his government, said Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari, who led the protesters.

According to a Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) report released by Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan on November 16, all water samples collected from Delhi failed quality tests.
