Basically, the only thing Atishi's Pani Satyagraha has achieved is that it has successfully shifted the media focus from the public suffering for something as basic as water to an entitled, powerful woman, a minister no less, highlighting her own 'suffering'.
Delhi Water Minister Atishi said that she will step on the path of 'Satyagraha' and start an 'indefinite fast' from today demanding more water from Haryana
The apex court, in a stern remark, said that the AAP government in Delhi has failed to take any action on the water crisis despite the functioning of the 'tanker mafia' in the capital
Several parts of Delhi have been affected by a lack of water due to the city's current heatwave. Slums, resettlement colonies, and villages are particularly hard-struck, forcing residents to purchase water tanks or rely on Delhi Jal Board (DJB) tankers.
The incident took place when Madhya Pradesh MP Durgadas Uikey, who is also known as DD Uikey, was taking oath as one of the union ministers. At that time, people noticed an animal in the background. Now speculations are on as to what the animal could be.
With piped supply affected in various residential areas, water is supplied to the people through tankers. Visuals from Mayur Vihar and Okhla Phase 2 showed on Sunday residents huddling around water tankers with buckets and cans in their hands to carry water.
