Ahead of Chhath Puja, the Yamuna has become the centre of a fresh political confrontation between the BJP and AAP in Delhi. While the BJP claims the river is cleaner and credits the Narendra Modi and Rekha Gupta governments for their efforts, AAP has challenged the claims. AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj alleges that additional water released from Haryana has diluted pollution levels. BJP MP Manoj Tiwari has urged devotees to celebrate Chhath along the Yamuna's banks.
