A video of Swati Maliwal is being widely shared on social media in which a woman is complaining to the Delhi AAP MP about brown dirty water coming out of a tap.
The video is shared with a caption suggesting that the viral video is from the time when the BJP government came to power in Delhi.
A social media user shared the video with a caption that reads, “Great achievement by @BJP4Delhi. Nal se Jal Nal se Beer Hope Delhites are enjoying their Ache din. (sic)”
On a Google reverse image search, we found that the same video was uploaded by an X account, RJB News Live, on January 29, with a caption that reads, ‘Delhi Taps: More Beer, Less Water, Priorities?’
The Delhi Assembly Elections were held on February 5, prior to which AAP was in power. The BJP won 48 seats, while AAP won 22 seats.
The longer version of the video was also shared by Swati Maliwal on her X account on January 20, 2025. At around 1:03 minutes, the viral clip can be seen. The video was shared with a caption that reads, “There is a wave of happiness among the drunkards of Delhi. After getting liquor 1+1, now Arvind Kejriwalji is supplying liquor-like water directly from the tap. After drinking this beer-like water, you will reach the hospital directly. Don’t worry, they have made it world class (on social media). Badli Assembly.”
On searching with appropriate keywords, we found a report published by News on Air on Janaury 20, 2025. According to the report, Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal visited Bhalswa in Delhi’s Badli constituency to inspect water supply and sanitation. She documented brown, contaminated tap water and overflowing garbage, speaking with residents about health risks. Maliwal urged the Delhi government to urgently address infrastructure failures and ensure clean water and proper sanitation.
Hence, we can ascertain that the viral video is unrelated to the current BJP regime in Delhi.
