This refers to the Delhi Water Minister, who Atishi threat to go on an indefinite hunger strike from June 21, if the water crisis is not resolved by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

We feel, it is the sole responsibility of AAP government in New Delhi to ensure that there was no water shortage in Delhi. Ironically, without owning her responsibility, she is keen to blame the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which is nothing short of a childish act.

To be frank, it is the Freebie Culture, which is causing hardships to the State governments.

In fact, there are some chief ministers and his wards, who make the PM accountable for even petty matters, which should be solved by the State administrators.

Moreover, for every necessity, there are separate ministers to look into that matter. But all these chief minister’s prefer to address even petty things to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is already hard pressed for time and is working 24 x 7.
