The row about Arvind Kejriwal’s comments about Yamuna today continued with Rahul Gandhi of Congress this time responsible for the unfortunate state of the river. In a video published today, Mr. Gandhi is seen making a complete river pray, taking a boat ride, taking men, local and researchers. Its conclusion: very little has been done in the last five years to improve the condition of the river that flows through the heart of Delhi and contributes to bargain pollution.
In the video, Mr. Gandhi begins where he left it yesterday – “Five years ago, Kejriwal said he would take a dip in the Yamuna.”
Then begins the detailed exploration that takes the garbage and the wastewater thrown in the river and the views of the people who immerse themselves in the mud.
The researcher with whom he spoke, gave a 360 degree vision of the situation, including pollutants that flow from the higher scopes, water diversion that hinders the elimination of garbage and defective wastewater treatment plants that contribute to disaster.
The people he spoke were unanimous in his conviction for any process of cleaning the river, declaring them to a garrison aimed at diverting the money.
Days before the assembly elections in Delhi, Kejriwal had affirmed that the Haryana BJP government was “mixing poison” in the city’s water supply in an attempt to “create chaos … with the hope that the Culing falls “in the administration of your party.
But his strange claim has been criticized for both BJP and Congress. After a BJP complaint, the Electoral Commission had asked him to produce evidence to support his claims.
When Mr. Kejriwal’s appointment of a letter from the Jal Board was not considered and acceptable and the commission sought more concrete evidence, the former main minister of Delhi responded with a “drinking” challenge.
“We have four bottles … we will send each of them … Please, drink and show us. Then we will believe,” he said in response, pointing out a row of full plastic bottles, he said, with Yamuna water.
