BJP MP Manoj Tiwari Dips in Yamuna, Sparks Political Debate Over River Cleanliness
BJP MP Manoj Tiwari took a dip in the Yamuna River at Sonia Vihar, claiming pollution has halved due to cleaning efforts by the BJP-led Delhi government, led by Rekha Gupta. He invited AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal and Congress's Rahul Gandhi to do the same. The BJP credits Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for launching major projects to clean the river by 2029. AAP challenged these claims, accusing BJP of misleading the public and questioned water quality at Kalindi Kunj Ghat. The dispute highlights ongoing political tensions over Yamuna's condition ahead of Chhath Puja.
