Congress has asked Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to provide good quality drinking water inn national capital as he urged people to drink more water to beat the heat.
Bengaluru: The Congress, which faced ignominy in the just held Delhi polls by scoring a big zilch, has taken on Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi CM.
The water war is the in thing, fighting it out in the national capital. While Arvind Kejriwal urged his people to drink large amounts of water to beat the rising temperatures, the
Jharkhand unit of Congress has hit back at him, urging him to provide good quality drinking water first.

Water war is certainly not new. Just before the elections, both Congress and BJP had left no stone unturned to criticise and censure Kejriwal for failing to provide good quality drinking water.
In response, Kejriwal had promised that he would provide 100% safe and piped drinking water.
