Political Blame Game Over Yamuna River Pollution

East Delhi MP Harsh Malhotra accused the Aam Aadmi Party government of neglecting Yamuna River pollution, countered by AAP's claim of BJP's political tactics. The discussion touches on AAP's efforts, inter-state cooperation, and concerns over pollution funds and stubble burning.

East Delhi MP Harsh Malhotra has accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of failing to prioritize the cleanliness of the Yamuna River. He criticized the government for inaction as thick white froth covered the river, warning residents against taking a dip due to health risks.

In response, AAP accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of engaging in "dirty politics," claiming the central government contributes to pollution by sending contaminated water from Uttar Pradesh. The AAP emphasized their ongoing efforts to combat pollution.

The controversy also involves financial scrutiny, with Malhotra questioning the handling of Rs 1,000 crore pollution cess funds by the Delhi government. AAP countered by highlighting their proactive measures against pollution, while other states see increased stubble burning incidents.
