“It is a big question why all the water from Hathnikund Barrage was being released only for Delhi. Not a single drop of water was released into the canals going to UP and Haryana from there. Haryana will have to answer for this. Can the flood situation in Delhi have been avoided?” she hinted a bigger conspiracy of the BJP govt.

In a press release, Devender Singh, the advisor (Irrigation) to Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar, identified that the Hathinikund is a barrage and never a dam, which can be utilized to retailer water.
