The BJP on Saturday demanded that the Delhi Assembly speaker call a special session of the House to discuss the prevailing "water crisis" in the city that it blamed on the AAP government's "mismanagement".

BJP Chief Whip in the Delhi Assembly, Ajay Mahawar, in a letter to Speaker Ram Niwas Goel, said the whole of Delhi is struggling with a water shortage amid unprecedented heat and the people are devastated due to the government's "water mismanagement".

"It is requested of you to immediately call a special session of the Delhi Assembly to discuss and find a solution to this crisis and provide relief to the people from this disaster caused by mismanagement of the Delhi government and the Delhi Jal Board," Mahawar said in his letter.

He claimed that some special sessions were held in the past to discuss "unnecessary" issues while pressing for calling a special session on the water shortage. BJP Delhi unit chief Virendra Sachdeva also demanded that the speaker call a special session of the assembly due to the water shortage.
