BJP Challenges AAPs Claims on Yamuna Cleanliness Amid Political Tensions

New Delhi, November 14 (Daily Kiran) : BJP spokesperson Tuhin Sinha has responded to allegations made by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) regarding pollution in the Yamuna River, particularly after reports of dead fish surfacing in the waterway. Sinha accused AAP leaders of engaging in political theatrics by selectively editing video clips to challenge BJP officials. He asserted that a 27-kilometer stretch of the Yamuna is completely clean and invited opposition leaders to visit any 27 locations of their choice within that area.

Sinha promised that all banks of the Yamuna would be cleaned by 2029. He also criticized the Congress party, specifically targeting its leadership and the Jharkhand government, in light of serious allegations against a Congress legislator involving the sexual exploitation of a 14-year-old tribal girl.

Commenting on the situation in the Yamuna, Sinha remarked that some AAP spokespersons have become politically irrelevant, focusing solely on challenging BJP leaders through edited video clips. He compared their actions to Rahul Gandhi’s mock parliament sessions. He specifically named Saurabh Bhardwaj and Anmol Pawar, accusing them of creating unnecessary controversies.

The BJP spokesperson further challenged AAP leaders to accept his invitation to inspect the claimed clean stretch of the Yamuna, emphasizing that even Manoj Tiwari has visited this area, where the “Namo Yamuna Safari” has been launched.

Sinha reiterated the BJP’s commitment to ensuring no part of the Yamuna remains unclean by 2029. He cited Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s pledge for a Naxal-free India as an example of timely action and criticized AAP leaders as “mental Naxals” for continuously stirring new controversies. He alleged that AAP leaders are attempting to gain favor with Congress to secure support from Rahul Gandhi following their anticipated losses in Punjab.

On the allegations against the Congress legislator in Jharkhand, Sinha accused the party of hypocrisy. He noted that while Congress promotes campaigns like “Smash the Patriarchy,” serious accusations of child sexual exploitation against one of its own members have gone unaddressed. He questioned why Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi have remained silent on the matter.

Sinha demanded action from Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), claiming that many JMM leaders have been involved in similar controversies, leading to the party’s silence. He warned that the public in Jharkhand is closely watching the situation, and when Rahul Gandhi promotes “Smash the Patriarchy” in the future, the people will remember this incident.
