‘Not letting Purvanchalis prepare ghats’
Politics over Chhath Puja in Delhi intensified on Saturday with the Aam Aadmi Party accusing the BJP of not letting ‘Purvanchalis’ prepare ‘ghats’ required to perform rituals pertaining to the festival.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) urged the BJP to stop playing “dirty politics” over Chhath Puja and let people celebrate the festival in Delhi.
“And, if they [BJP] continue playing dirty politics over Chhath Puja, Purvanchali [People who hail from Purvanchal region of Uttar Pradesh] will not forgive them,” AAP legislator Sanjeev Jha warned while addressing a press conference at the party headquarters here.
