Shah hits campaign trail, says city to be free of 'AAPda' soon

At a rally in Govindpuri, he dismissed Kejriwal's allegation about poisoning as a "lie".

He said: "On Monday, I returned after taking a holy dip at the Kumbh, and Arvind Kejriwal claimed that the Haryana government had poisoned the Yamuna. However, when we investigated, the Jal Board said nothing of that sort happened. This shows that Kejriwal has resorted to lying."

The home minister dared him to come out with evidence of his claim.
