“Yamuna is filled with garbage, dirt, stench and sewage – meaning that there is no river left. According to researchers, clean water of the river is taken out for sewage treatment and the sewage is dumped in the river itself,” he said. Gandhi said earlier that devotees used to come in large numbers to take a dip in the Yamuna but now only a few people come and that too by risking their health.”Ever since coming to power in Delhi, Kejriwal has been making empty promises – ‘we will clean Yamuna, I will take a dip or else don’t vote’, and many more long speeches. And today again he is sitting with a bottle of Yamuna water making allegations and counter-allegations,” Gandhi said.”This is not just an insult to Yamuna ji, it is a mockery of the lives of the people of Delhi that has been going on for years. This horrific condition of Yamuna is the result of the confluence of negligence and corruption of the Modi and Kejriwal governments.In a post in Hindi on X, Gandhi said, “Kejriwal ji, now 2025 has come. When will you take a dip in the Yamuna? Delhi is waiting!In the video, Gandhi tells an activist that talk of cleaning Yamuna is a ‘jumla’ and has been made an excuse to make money by the dispensation.Speaking at a rally earlier in the day, Gandhi also lashed out at Kejriwal over his five-year-old promise of making Yamuna water potable and his press conference on Thursday, saying it reflected his “hollowness”.The AAP supremo on Thursday claimed that for the past several days, water with extremely dangerous ammonia levels has been flowing into the Yamuna from Haryana.”When CM Atishi called her Haryana counterpart, urging him to stop sending this toxic water, he did nothing,” Kejriwal alleged.
