BJP National President, JP Nadda, on Thursday, called for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to apologize to the people of Haryana and Delhi for his controversial statement about “poison mixed in the Yamuna.” Nadda accused the AAP government of failing to address the Yamuna pollution crisis while shifting blame for political advantage.
In a sharp social media post, Nadda blasted the Delhi government for its poor handling of the Yamuna river pollution, saying, “The AAP government’s blame game on Yamuna pollution exposes its inefficiency and failed governance.” He shared an infographic from the @infoindata account, showing a notable rise in pollution levels as the Yamuna enters Delhi, which he claimed highlighted the government’s lack of action.
Nadda further criticized Kejriwal for evading responsibility, stating that the Delhi government had used the pollution issue to create fear among the public for political gain. “Instead of addressing the root cause, Arvind Kejriwal should apologize to the people of Haryana and Delhi for his irresponsible remarks,” he added.
Kejriwal Government’s Failure to Tackle Yamuna Pollution
Nadda also took aim at Kejriwal’s governance, noting that despite receiving Rs 8,500 crores from the central government, little progress had been made to clean up the Yamuna river. He accused the Delhi government of failing to deliver on its promises, stating, “Kejriwal’s government has done nothing but offer corruption, lies, and broken promises over the last 10 years.”
