North East Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari on Saturday began a ‘Chhath Rath Yatra’ from his constituency against the “Delhi government’s decision to ban the observance of the festival” at public places.
The BJP leader organised a public consultation at north-east Delhi’s Sonia Vihar to seek opinion on the ban on Chhath Puja in early November when other festive events in the run-up to it had been allowed.
“The unequivocal opinion was that Chhath Puja must be observed no matter what,” he said. Mr. Tiwari accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of harbouring disrespect for over 60 lakh Purvanchalis residing in the city.
