AAP Says 'Fake Yamuna' Pipeline Was Removed at Vasudev Ghat, BJP Rebuts Claim
Bharadwaj alleges a secret line fed filtered water for Chhath to stage a cleaner stretch of the river.
Overview
- Saurabh Bharadwaj visited Vasudev Ghat after Chhath and alleged workers were dismantling a pipeline used to create an artificial clean section of the Yamuna.
- He claimed the line was tapped from a Wazirabad Water Treatment Plant main and called the connection illegal, asking who authorised it and which contractor executed the work.
- In a video, Bharadwaj displayed dark water and sludge from the site and said the river had returned to a polluted state beside the festival area.
- Delhi BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor rejected the allegations and said AAP had effectively admitted the river’s condition matched what it left behind in office.
- Kapoor asserted the Yamuna and ghats are now 25–30% cleaner under the current government and accused AAP of spreading falsehoods about cleanup efforts.
