Political Rift Emerges Over Yamuna Cleaning in Delhi

The Yamuna cleaning at Delhi's ITO triggers a political spat, as AAP criticizes Lt Governor's involvement. Gopal Rai claims government should lead such efforts. BJP's sweeping victory complicates dynamics, especially after a tragic stampede at New Delhi station draws condolences from key leaders.

The ongoing cleanup of the Yamuna River at ITO in Delhi has sparked political controversy, as AAP leader Gopal Rai criticized the involvement of Delhi's Lieutenant Governor. Rai argued that the elected government should spearhead such initiatives, rather than appointed officials, raising questions about political motives.

In a media interaction post-meeting with AAP's Delhi office bearers, the Delhi State President voiced concerns over Lieutenant Governor's active role, suggesting it undermines the government's authority. He cited Delhi elections as proof of the public's intent to have their government handle such responsibilities.

Rai challenged the BJP's influence behind the Lieutenant Governor's sudden involvement, urging them to focus on fulfilling electoral promises. Meanwhile, BJP celebrated a significant electoral win, while condolences poured in from leaders like Amit Shah following a deadly stampede at New Delhi Railway Station.
