Manoj Tiwari Dips in Yamuna, Claims River Cleaning Progress Amid Pollution Concerns
Ahead of Chhath Puja, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari took a dip in the Yamuna River, claiming that over half of the Delhi stretch has been cleaned in the past two years under the BJP government. He challenged AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal to do the same, citing improvements like migratory birds' presence. The BJP credited recent projects launched by Union Home Minister Amit Shah for progress. However, AAP leaders disputed these claims, highlighting ongoing pollution concerns. Independent data shows the Yamuna remains polluted, with biochemical oxygen demand levels exceeding safe limits at several points in Delhi.
