Manoj Tiwari Claims Partial Yamuna Cleanup; AAP Challenges Results

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari claimed that nearly 30 kilometers of the Yamuna river in Delhi has been cleaned ahead of the Chhath festival. During a site visit, Tiwari cited the presence of birds as evidence of improved water quality and announced plans for upcoming dredging to assist navigation.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has disputed these claims, with leader Saurabh Bharadwaj challenging Tiwari to drink water from the Kalindi Kunj Ghat. Tiwari stated his efforts are intended to improve the river for Delhi residents rather than serve as a political attack against former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Editor's note: Covers the core conflict and the specific claims made by both Tiwari and Bharadwaj clearly and concisely.
