Apart from this, looking ahead to political changes, Saini expressed confidence in the BJP's prospects in Punjab.

Speaking to mediapersons here, Saini on Thursday said, "Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Haryana and Delhi governments will implement the works on the ground. Water consumption is high in summers."

Saini said, "Earlier, Kejriwal's government was in Delhi, and his party is also in Punjab. They have done politics on drinking water. Even today, the hearing on this is going on in the Supreme Court."

He further accused Kejriwal of neglecting public welfare, stating, "Neither Kejriwal ever thought about the welfare of the people nor is his Punjab government following the path shown by the gurus."

"AAP will be ousted from power in Punjab; there too, the lotus (BJP's symbol) will bloom under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. The people of Punjab are also saying that drinking water should not be stopped," he added.

Water is a basic human right, not a political tool! 😠 All states must work together to solve this crisis instead of blaming each other. Haryana, Punjab, Delhi - we're all Indians first. Hope the Supreme Court gives a fair solution soon.

As someone from Haryana, I've seen water shortages every summer. Politicians make promises but where are the long-term solutions? We need better water management systems, not just political mudslinging. #WaterCrisis

BJP making inroads in Punjab would be good for stability. AAP has failed to deliver on many promises. But water disputes need scientific solutions, not political rhetoric from any side.

Why bring religion into water politics? ("path shown by gurus" comment was unnecessary). Focus on policies, not emotional appeals. We need concrete action plans for water conservation and equitable distribution.

Punjab farmers are already struggling. Water disputes will only make things worse for them. All governments should sit together and find a permanent solution instead of playing blame games.

Summer water crisis affects women the most - waiting in long queues for water tankers. Politicians make speeches while we suffer. Where are the rainwater harvesting projects they promised? 🤔
