In this episode of Urban Debate, anchor Shreya Dhoundial delves into the controversy surrounding Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's accusations against Haryana regarding the pollution of the Yamuna River. Kejriwal claimed that Haryana was "poisoning" the river, which led to a notice from the Election Commission. He further accused Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar of undermining the credibility of the Election Commission by becoming involved in political matters.
In response, Union Minister Amit Shah criticized Kejriwal, suggesting that the Delhi CM was making these allegations as a tactic to divert attention from Delhi's water pollution issues and to shift blame ahead of the upcoming elections. Shah also hinted that Kejriwal’s strategy was an attempt to mask the likely defeat of his party in the polls.
The episode features a panel discussion with political commentator JVC Sreeram, who argues that Kejriwal’s political approach is built around creating sensational controversies right before elections, often by making unsubstantiated claims.
