Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini Sunday rejected the Delhi government's charge that his state was not supplying the national capital's share of water, asserting his dispensation is releasing water to the city over and above the agreed-upon quantity.
The BJP leader asked the AAP dispensation to pay attention to proper management and distribution of the resource.
"(Arvind) Kejriwal is misleading people. Earlier too, he raised this issue. They want to hide their own shortcomings," Saini said, when asked about the AAP government's allegations.

After an intense seven-phase general election, the stage is set in politically crucial Uttar Pradesh for vote counting on June 4.

While the ruling BJP contested the polls with allies Apna Dal (Sonelal), NISHAD party, Rashtriya Lok Dal and the Om Prakash Rajbhar-led SBSP (Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party), opposition INDIA bloc partners Samajwadi Party and the Congress fought together. The Congress is looking to regain lost ground in the state that sends the largest number of members to the Lok Sabha.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for the nation to "reassess outdated thinking and beliefs" and free "our society from the pressure of professional pessimists", asserting that the foundation for a "Viksit Bharat" must be laid in the 25 years in the run up to the centenary of India's independence.
"The world of the 21st century is looking towards Bharat with many hopes. And we will need to make several changes to move forward in the global scenario. We also need to change our traditional thinking regarding reform. Bharat cannot limit reform to just economic reforms," he said in an article which he had penned on June 1 on his flight to Delhi from Kanyakumari.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday slammed the BJP, saying that the Saffron camp "disturbed peace and brotherhood" of the country.
"The elections have got over. The exit polls are showing many things. Jitni unchai par jakar katti hai patang, utna hi bada hota hai uska patan. BJP is responsible for many things. They disturbed peace and brotherhood. They conspired to end reservation. They increased crime against women. They made a record of wrong behaviour. They triggered inflation, unemployment. Poor became poorer," he said.

Addressing a press conference on the eve of Lok Sabha results, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi launched an attack at the opposition claiming they have gone 'berserk' because of inevitable defeat.
He said, "Our motto during the entire election under the leadership of PM Modi was 'development and confidence', while their (opposition's) motto was 'create a propaganda and fear'. Now the process has finished, let's wait for the results.
You have gone berserk because of inevitable defeat. I would like to remind you that you have lost the governments several times and have never come back. In 1967 in Tamil Nadu,1977 in West Bengal, Congress never came back to power. In 1989, they lost in UP and Bihar and they have never came back to power. In 1990, they lost Gujarat and have never came to power there."
On the eve of election results, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge took to twitter to address the bureaucracy in an open letter.
He wrote, "The last decade has seen a systematic pattern of attacking, weakening and suppressing our autonomous institutions by the ruling party. As a result, India's democratic values are being damaged. There is a widespread tendency to turn India into a dictatorship."
