Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has launched a sharp attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the severe pollution in the Yamuna River. Fadnavis accused Kejriwal and his cabinet of failing to take responsibility for the worsening environmental crisis, urging them to "drown in a handful of water" as a symbol of accountability.
Fadnavis’s comments came in response to ongoing concerns about the high pollution levels in the Yamuna, which have significantly impacted both the environment and public health in Delhi. He criticized the Delhi government for not doing enough to tackle the issue, despite the growing urgency of the situation. The Maharashtra leader claimed that the Kejriwal-led administration had failed to take effective measures to address the pollution problem, which has long been a source of public outrage.
The Yamuna pollution has become a major political issue, with multiple parties blaming each other for the deteriorating state of the river. In his statement, Fadnavis underscored that it was the responsibility of the Delhi government to find long-term solutions to clean the river and mitigate the adverse effects of pollution. He accused Kejriwal of shifting blame to others instead of focusing on the immediate concerns.
Fadnavis’s remarks come at a time when Kejriwal has been vocal about the government’s efforts to address the issue, with claims that the Delhi administration is committed to reducing the pollution levels. The sharp exchange of words between the two political leaders has intensified the debate over who is truly accountable for the ongoing environmental crisis.
As the political rhetoric heats up, the focus remains on finding tangible solutions to the pollution problem. While the row between Fadnavis and Kejriwal continues to garner attention, citizens and environmental activists alike are calling for more effective action to restore the Yamuna River to its natural state.
