The Delhi Congress said on Thursday that it would offer free reverse osmosis (RO) water purifiers to Delhi’s underprivileged inhabitants due to the city’s unclean water supply. Chaudhary Anil Kumar, the head of the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC), attacked the Aam Adami Party’s (AAP) free water programme, alleging that tainted water is being distributed and that the tanker mafia is thriving in several places.

“Congress’ MCD election campaign will centre on topics that concern the general public, and when Congress takes over the MCD, its plan to solve the water crisis will be “Saaf Paani Wali Dilli, Sheila Dikshit Wali Dilli.” The government provides tainted water, and because the poor have so many health issues, they must rely on bottled water to drink. According to Kumar, the tanker and water mafias exist to take advantage of the predicament of those living in JJ Clusters, resettlement colonies, unapproved colonies, etc. “Poor people are compelled to purchase unregulated bottled water that costs Rs 30 for 20 litres in order to consume it. By giving a RO water purifier to each low-income household, we will solve this issue, added Kumar.
