The city of Delhi is engulfed in a heated debate over a purported water crisis, with Leader of Opposition Atishi writing to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. She is calling for immediate discussions to tackle what she describes as a pressing issue.

In her correspondence, Atishi highlights the struggles of Delhi's residents, especially women and children, who she claims are forced to queue for water tankers and buy bottled water due to supply disruptions. This, she argues, is becoming Delhi's new identity.

In response, the BJP has dismissed these allegations as fabricated lies. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva attributed the current stable water supply to the Summer Action Plan, dismissing claims of a crisis as politically motivated rhetoric.
