AAP accused BJP to playing "dirty politics" over Chhath Puja and urged to let people celebrate the festival in Delhi.
NEW DELHI: BJP is creating hurdles in celebrating Chhath Mahaparv in Delhi and playing with the feelings of Purvanchalis. AAP Purvanchal in-charge and MLA Sanjeev Jha said that at the behest of BJP, Lieutenant Governor has issued an order that Chhath Puja should not be held on the banks of Yamuna.
He added that the BJP first issued an order through the L-G to prevent Chhath Puja in Delhi so that Chhath Puja is not celebrated in Delhi. BJP is now trying to prevent worship wherever the land is under control of DDA-MCD across Delhi. AAP Senior Leader and MLA Somnath Bharti said that the Lieutenant Governor had decided that he would not allow Chhath, but CM Kejriwal fought for it strongly, then agreed to give permission.
He added that senior leaders of BJP have started saying that Ghats will not be allowed to be built, has such a despicable situation come in Delhi? The Kejriwal government has built more than 1200 Chhath Ghats; there were only 72 Chhath Ghats in Delhi before AAP came. He said that Aam Aadmi Party workers, CM Arvind Kejriwal along with the people of Delhi are trying their best to celebrate Chhath Mahaparv with great pomp in Delhi.
