Chandigarh: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab president Aman Arora has criticised the BJP-led central and Haryana governments over what he termed as the continued exploitation of Punjab’s water rights.<\/p>\n
In a strongly-worded letter to BJP Punjab president Sunil Jakhar, Arora questioned Jakhar\u2019s silence on the recent decisions taken by the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB).<\/p>\n
Arora expressed serious concern over the alleged approval of releasing 8,500 cusecs of additional water to Haryana during a recent BBMB meeting.<\/p>\n
Calling the move illegal, he said the decision amounted to “day-to-day loot and a direct attack on the rights of Punjab.”<\/p>\n
He accused the Narendra Modi-led central government of siding with Haryana and ignoring Punjab\u2019s interests, and asked whether Jakhar was answerable to the people of the state on the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
