“Arvind Kejriwal actually killed Yamuna River”: Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva

New Delhi [India], October 16 (ANI): Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva on Monday slammed the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government over the condition of the Yamuna River and said that CM Kejriwal has actually killed the river.

Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva and party leader Manoj Tiwari visited Yamuna Ghat in Kalindi Kunj, to assess the pollution situation ahead of the Chhath puja.

“Arvind Kejriwal has actually killed Yamuna. This water is in such a situation that if somebody puts their hands in this, they will fall sick. During Chhath puja, what will happen to those who take a dip in this water? There should be a criminal case against Arvind Kejriwal”, the BJP chief said.

BJP leader Manoj Tiwari also hit out at the Delhi government over the pollution in the Yamuna River and said that the Chief Minister and his party have made this water poisonous.

“We inspected the Yamuna Ghat ahead of the Chhatt Puja, women take a dip in this water and Arvind Kejriwal and his party have made this water poisonous. This is a big crime, we will convey this to higher authorities and will request the Supreme Court also to take cognisance of this ahead of the Chhath puja.” Tiwari said.

The 4-day festival of Chhath is one of the major festivals of India. This festival is celebrated in most parts of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and also in some parts of Nepal. The festival is dedicated to worshipping the Sun to seek blessings and praying to keep the family healthy and wealthy.
