Punjab Minister Bains says Haryana CM Saini 'steals Punjab's water at night'

Ludhiana, June 14 (UNI) Punjab Cabinet Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Harjot Bains launched a scathing attack on Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini over his remarks on the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) water distribution.
Bains accused Haryana and BJP leaders of conspiring to loot Punjab’s water. He stated that Nayab Saini’s defense of BBMB’s decisions clearly shows that Saini was the mastermind behind pressuring the BBMB to divert more water to Haryana, depriving Punjab of its rightful share.
He further said that "while the nation was fighting Pakistan, with blackouts and drones flying in at night, Haryana’s Chief Minister was busy plotting to steal Punjab’s water".
