Assam faces floods every year with brave hearts but yet we do not blame others: CM Sarma

Sarma also took a jibe at Kejriwal reminding him about his past invitation to Delhi and said he is ready to visit Kejriwal's house
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday slammed his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal, saying that ‘Assam faces floods every year with ‘brave hearts’ but the state does not blame others.
CM Sarma said that Assam witnesses floods every year because of the water from China, Bhutan and Arunachal but his government has “set a scientific response” instead of blaming their governments.
“I am seeing various statements that the water is coming from Haryana and UP. Water doesn’t know any geography. We also receive water from Arunachal Pradesh, China and Bhutan but we do not criticise them as we believe that this is a natural phenomenon and we have to set a scientific response for it,” CM Sarma said.
“Blaming other state governments is not going to solve the problem, it is your problem and you have to resolve it by yourself,” he added.
“Every year, we receive water from Bhutan, Arunachal, and even from China. We face floods with brave hearts. We experience pain and misery beyond human imagination, yet we do not blame others. Because we know that nature does not recognize geography,” CM Sarma tweeted.
On Sunday, the Aam Aadmi Party accused the BJP-led governments at the Centre and in Haryana of hatching a conspiracy to plunge the national capital into a flood crisis by releasing water from the Hathnikund Barrage.
Earlier in the day, Sarma also took a jibe at Kejriwal reminding him about his past invitation to Delhi and said he is ready to visit Kejriwal’s house.
“I am still waiting for the invitation. It’s been six months. If the invitation comes today, I am ready to visit his house,” the Sarma stated.
