Manoj Tiwari Dips in Yamuna, BJP and AAP Dispute River Clean-Up Ahead of Chhath Puja
Ahead of Chhath Puja, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari took a dip in the Yamuna river, claiming that over half of the 58-km Delhi stretch has been cleaned in the past two years under the BJP-led government. He cited the presence of migratory birds as evidence of improved water quality and challenged AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal to do the same. The BJP credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Delhi officials for the progress, while AAP leaders disputed these claims, attributing improvements to water release from Haryana and questioning the BJP's assertions.
