Delhi Elections 2025 Live Updates: No difference between PM Modi, Kejriwal; both cowards, corrupt, says Priyanka Gandhi

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs Rohit Mehraulia from Trilokpuri, Madan Lal from Kasturba Nagar, Rajesh Rishi from Janakpuri, and Bhavna Gaur from Palam have resigned from the party. The resignation came after the party decided not to give them tickets for the upcoming elections. The decision not to field these four MLAs in the elections appears to have prompted them to step down from their positions, signaling a potential shift in their political affiliations or intentions moving forward.Meanwhile, AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal in a letter to the Election Commission on Friday, demanded a criminal case against Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini in connection with the 'poisonous' Yamuna water issue.Kejriwal claimed that ammonia levels in the raw water supplied to Delhi from Haryana had risen to 'unprecedented and dangerously high' levels. He outlined how ammonia levels sharply increased from 3.2 ppm on 15th January to 7 ppm shortly thereafter. Despite several efforts from Delhi chief minister Atishi to resolve the issue, including direct calls to Haryana's chief minister, the problem remained unresolved, Kejriwal claimed.In his letter, Kejriwal accused Haryana's chief minister, of deliberately orchestrating a conspiracy to influence the Delhi elections. He alleged that the high levels of ammonia were intended to create an artificial water scarcity in Delhi, which would have caused hardship for nearly 10 million people.Kejriwal also expressed concerns over the Election Commission’s handling of the matter, accusing it of bias for not acting against Haryana's chief minister and instead targeting him. He criticised the Commission for not ordering Haryana to stop polluting Delhi's water before the elections and for focusing on him instead.
